Gunnar
Schrøder's wife's 1937 M100 in the Lofoten Islands |
| I visited John Ferguson in Melbourne,
Australia and had the opportunity to ride and photograph his 1938 M100
DeLuxe.
The
left picture show me looking particularly manic as I realised that I
hadn't quite mastered the strange art of cornering
on a combination. The right picture is a rather scenic shot in front of
one of Melbourne's trams (streetcars in US English I believe). Note the
glistening oil spots on the road that must have been left by the
previous vehicle.

a 1954 Panther from the UK to Australia and later wrote a hit song about the trip. |

 Here are two lovely photos (showing the patina of time). They were sent by Oktay Çemberci from İstanbul in Turkey. According to the legend on the photos they are from 1960 and show his father, İbrahim Çemberci, with his Panther; which seems to be a late 1940s Model 60 or 65. |
