The Bikes: Other Vehicles
Scooters - P&M were the UK importers and
distributors of the French Terrot mopeds and scooters. The "Scooterrot"
did not sell that badly but was plagued with warranty claims, mainly on
paintwork. The mopeds were a non-starter: they couldn't give them away
towards the end! P&M made their own scooter, the Princess, which, although
it had some potential, was not a success. Few motorcycle manufacturers
have made a successful scooter; the two machines require different approaches
to design and manufacture.
Commercial Vehicles - In 1935 Guymar Light
Transport of London announced an 8cwt three wheel van powered by a 598cc
Model 100 Redwing Panther engine. It seems that this only got to the prototype
stage although a two-seater coupe and a short-wheelbase tractor version
were also planned. {For further information see Classic
Bike from 1982, Sloper of May 1997 or The
Book.}
