Solved the riddle!
The beautiful original finish came to light after careful sanding of the fiberglas. Lo and behold were Joe and Alma Rocheleau, the racers (Americans from the midwest) and the builder was MGF. I'm working on finding contact info for Joe & Alma. They do appear in the TT database in a competitor ...

Breakthrough ID?

Re: Do you know anything about this old racing outfit?
Be still my heart!
Brian, you're the man. I'm hoping with your help we'll get to the bottom of this mystery. Either it was theirs or it wasn't, once we find out which it is we'll be further along.
If there's anything I can do picturewise or otherwise please let me know as soon as possible.

Here's more grist for the mill...since I can only attach 3 photos at a time I'll have to do this in several posts. Here's no 1.

Re: Do you know anything about this old racing outfit?
Hi all,
I've met several Canadian sidecar fans & racers here at the Intenational Norton Owners rally...one of them suggested that my mystery outfit might have been constructed by Terry Windle? Any thoughts and comments would be appreciated along with possible contact information.
I'll be home soon ...

Re: Do you know anything about this old racing outfit?
Jerry, more pics will help. Some close ups of stuff. I don't think you're going to find the original builder but you have a good chance of finding out who built what bits. Honestly this place is THE place for locating machines so we'll work on building the bits up.
If you want some seriously ...

Re: Do you know anything about this old racing outfit?
By the response so far Jerry it would seem you've got hold of a proper obscure one :D There have been loads of people looking.
Does anyone recognise the forks to get us started? Wheels, bodywork?
I suppose you're right Steve...since it wound up in the USA quite some time ago, perhaps it wasn't ...
