Puch was founded in 1899 by the industrialist Johann Puch in Graz, Austria and produced automobiles, bicycles, mopeds, and motorcycles, eventually becoming a subsidiary of the large Steyr-Daimler-Puch conglomerate. From the outset, Puch enjoyed an excellent reputation for its high standard of design, build and reliability, important features on the roads around Europe at the time. Mainly concentrating on small two-stroke engined scooters and go-to-work vehicles, in the early 1960s they launched the 60cc Cheetah as a De Luxe model featuring a solid heavy-duty pressed steel frame and leg shields. The Cheetah was always a rare model in the UK due to its relatively high purchase price. In 1960, the upmarket 59cc Cheetah ‘Scooterette’ sold for £99 17/- 6d, as much as the bigger capacity and more popular offerings from Vespa and Lambretta.
This Cheetah is offered in an original and unrestored condition, displaying a credible 2,745 miles on the speedo. It looks to have been in the UK since its first registration on 19th August 1960, supplied by John Fisher Motorcycles in Portsmouth, according to the dealer transfers still showing on the headlamp casing and rear mudguard. Run and ridden recently by the vendor, it comes supplied with a current V5C.
