Strictly speaking the name red panther belongs to those 250cc machines sold by pride and clarke for �28/17/6d in the years from 1933 to about 1939 , but is often used to describe all the 250cc and 350cc 4 stroke panthers with a sloping engine built between 1932 and 1948. red panthers were basic versions of the �de-luxe� panthers made by p&m but employing somewhat cheaper components and were painted with cellulose paint rather than stove enamel. the red panthers were then sold in bulk to pride and clarke whilst the manufacturer continued to sell the de-luxe version themselves. the large volumes of red panthers sold through pride and clarke are generally credited with saving p&m during the pre-war depression years. the 250 and 350 lightweight panthers (models 20 and 30 respectively from pride and clarke, or model 70 and 80 as the de-luxe version from p&m - and after the war model 60 and 70) are delightful bikes to ride. whilst the 250 is somewhat lacking in power compared to the 350, all these 4-stroke lightweights are great fun to ride. they handle extremely well, have a lively, and for the time high revving engine, carry little surplus weight and are generally robust and reliable with a good turn of speed. they were also very economical with the 250cc version managing about 100mpg, something that was a good selling point in the pre-war years (as it is now!).
