Gday Graeme,
thanks for posting the Panther on ebay. Its been run and won now with it fetching $13,255 Australian, I would have dearly loved it but have too many other projects on the go that need attening to.
From what information I can gather on the bike, its a 1929 600 cc model 85 "Redwing",the first of with the tear drop tank, very rare in this part of the world and Im guessing not to many in existance else where. Its the first Ive seen of that model and a long time since any Panther was up for grabs.
A good book on Panthers is "THE STORY OF PANTHER MOTORCYCLES" written by Barr M. Jones, ISBN 0-85059-652-1
Its a good read and full of the manufacturing dates , models, color schemes etc etc.
Gino, thanks for the heads up on the movie, I do intend to buy it for a nostalgic look! might be in my christmas stocking, cripes coming up that time of the year again?!
Cheers Foxy
