Frame No: 24065
MOT: Exempt

• Fitted with the heavyweight sloping-engine single
• Started and ran smoothly at time of photography
• Supplied with V5C and invoice for recent specialist electrical work

The Panther Model 100 is one of the most individual British heavyweight singles of the post-war era, famed for its torque-rich sloping single-cylinder engine and unconventional yet highly effective engineering. Built by Phelon & Moore in Cleckheaton, the Model 100 was designed for durability and flexibility rather than outright speed, making it particularly well suited to sidecar work and long-distance touring.

This 1955 example is presented in honest, usable condition and appears to be the result of an older restoration, now displaying a sympathetic patina consistent with careful use. At the time of photography, the motorcycle started readily and ran smoothly on its stand, providing a positive indication of mechanical health. The machine retains a largely standard specification, including its distinctive low-mounted engine layout which defines the Model 100’s character. The motorcycle is supplied with its V5C registration document and is accompanied by a recent invoice detailing specialist electrical work, including attention to the magneto and dynamo, offering reassurance regarding recent maintenance. Increasingly appreciated for their character, engineering originality and strong low-speed performance, the Panther Model 100 remains an appealing choice for enthusiasts seeking a distinctive and highly individual British single.
