Back to square one 
the prospective engine was nowhere near fitting the frame, everything in the wrong place as usual.....

Re: Can you help with the History of this outfit???
I owned and raced a very similar outfit with C.R.M.C. in the late eighties. I was told that it had been built by someone in the Brigg area. When I had it it had the BSA A65 engine, 16" front wheel with twin discs and mini wheel at rear and sidecar wheel as per the photograph. My outfit did not have the leather covered seat, or the grab handle on the sidecar wheel arch. The fairing did not have the air duct "pods" as in the photograph. One of the top tubes of the chassis was removeable to facilitate engine removal. I sold it to someone from the Oxford area, but unfortunately cannot remember his name. I never noticed a chassis number.

Hi Whiteroseman, My bike had a 16" front wheel with Twin Discs, The A65 Motor was removed just before I got it. I think the "pods" were added by the previous owner to aide Engine cooling. My chassis still has the removable top frame rail as well. Do you have any photos of your bike when you raced it??
