I once owned one of these, albeit as a box of bits, which, owing to the circumstances then prevailing, I had eventually to sell, a theme that has recurred more than once since then (other motorcycles may make an appearance here).
The machine is a 1953 Panther 100; a 600cc single cylinder 'sloper' that was reputedly able to climb the wall of a house, with sidecar attached, and pull it down afterwards. Having ridden a pre-war Panther 500 with a three speed box, I believe that it was possible.
