Panther first used vertical power units in 1948 for its overhead-valve 250cc and 350cc trials models, which unlike the firm's traditional, large-capacity roadsters eschewed the stressed-member, sloping-engine layout in favour of a conventional tubular frame, an arrangement adopted by the equivalent roadsters in 1949. A Dowty Oleomatic front fork was fitted and the Model 65 (250cc) and Model 75 (350cc) retained a rigid frame. For 1953 there was a new swinging-arm frame and a conventional telescopic fork. Currently displaying a total of 46,467 miles on the odometer, this example of a rare post-war Panther carries a tax disc that expired in November 1965, which is almost certainly when it was last used. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with an old-style continuation logbook, old-style V5, spares list, maintenance manual, and reprinted instruction booklet. The (detached) fuel tank has been restored.
