Help - anyone recognise this?
70's, believed French. ANy info welcome. There is a suggestion that the driver may be Rolf Biland but I'm not so sure.

More info courtesy of a number of kind folk from the French sidecar site 
Bike is called a 'Delga', built circa 1975 and ridden by Pierre Gachelin featuring a number of innovative ideas, quite what I am not privy to yet, powered by a 750 Honda, principally used for hill climb events.

Yet another, by jove these French lads are good

A little more - Pierre also contested the French road race championships on this bike thus the big tank. It seems as though it was a little temperamental as it overheated readily when running and did not like sitting stationary for too long on the grid.
