Help with identifying a classic bike

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm trying to identify my Grandfather's old motorbike. I have no idea what it is but my Grandmother seems to remember it being called a "Panther".

If anyone knows what this bike is then I'd be really grateful.

I've attached two photos which hopefully give good views of the bike.

Thanks!

Believe it or not there is a Panther owners club

Looking at the interesting shaped exhaust, it looks like a 'red panther' - made in the thirties 250cc or 350cc four-strokes. See website.

May be worth sending them the photos to see if they can positively identify it

I am possibly wrong, but I thought they were a 600cc single and popular with side car owners at the time, I was not awair they made smaller ones?

The first 4 stroke I ever rode was a Red Panther stripped down to play motofootball.

In the 60s they made a Villiers engined model, possibly a twin.
