This is definitely at Panther (made by Phelon & Moore in Cleckheaton, Yorkshire) and I believe it’s a 1961 650cc Model 120.

We spent a very enjoyable week in East Lothian in September, staying a two minute stroll from Port Seton Harbour. We had a wander down there every day, sometimes to beachcomb, sometimes for fish & chips…

This former British Railways (BR) 16-ton mineral wagon is on display at the Prestongrange Museum in East Lothian.
Prestongrange Museum was originally founded as the National Mining Museum Scotland (now sited at Newtongrange in Midlothian) but is now dedicated to the area’s other once significant but vanished industries – salt boiling, chemical synthesis, soap making, glass making, potteries, industrial ceramics and bricks. It’s well worth a visit!
