1965 For Sale
When New Zealand distributors came to ordering new machines for their summer sales season, October 1964 to March 1965, they weren't interested in Raleigh branded models that their customers didn't know - they wanted to sell Phillips badged mopeds their customers would be familiar with and could relate to!
So, to secure the order, Raleigh created a special export RM8 Runabout just for New Zealand, and branded this special version the Phillips Traveller.
Traveller frames are still identified with Raleigh's 8R prefix to the serial, finished in white (what Raleigh described as Pearl Grey), with a unique dark grey trim, standard equipped with Lucas headlamp (no home trade Runabout ever had this fitting), badged with 'Phillips' transfers on the frame and petrol tank, and 'Traveller' decals on the side panels.
1965 registered Phillips Travellers are recorded in New Zealand, though whether any subsequent export batches were produced is not currently established. The Raleigh RM8 was listed until September 1969 in the UK.
