Post-WW2, Panther added medium-weight 250/350cc models with vertical engines to the range, but its largest models retained the inclined engine that had been around since the dawn of time. In 1959 an enlarged (to 645cc) Model 120 joined the 594cc Model 100 and the former would be the sole Panther four-stroke in the range after 1963. With their low-revving engines and limitless pulling power, the big Panthers had long been a favourite of sidecarists. The coming of the Mini in 1959 hit Panther's traditional market hard, but the Model 120 remained available until the end of production in 1968, by which time it had become the motorcycle equivalent of a living fossil. Acquired by the current vendor in April 2014, this Model 120 appears to be an older restoration. However, its mechanical condition is not known and thus the machine is sold strictly as viewed. It should be noted that the frame number is incorrectly recorded in the accompanying V5C Registration Certificate.
