The Place

Hi Guys,
i need some help with this Sidecar:). Year is unknown and who made it.

Thanx

Well I don't think it's a Shelbourne or a Windle, they have a top tube over the engine... It's a Yamaha YPVS Powervalve engine though...

Any idea who's wheels they are? They're pretty distinctive wheel centers...

thanks for your answer marc,
the only thing i know that the wheels are 13"
found that one in the netherlands and thinking about to buy!?

Well the main thing to check would be the integrity of the chassis, the tubes could be rusting from the inside with that age... Happened to my drivers outfit last year where the chassis nearly snapped in half... With that odd rear shock I'd possibly ask Louis Christian if he had a hand in it maybe...

Where are you wanting to race it?

I'd put a lot of money on it being nothing to do with any of the more popular builders.

It could have been built by Vince Winstanley, didn't he build with the shocker on its side like that?

The wheels look like compomotive to me.

Come on Big Tim, you must know?

We want race it in Germany Klamo Sidecar cup and admv classic cup. at the moment we have a Ireson with the 600cc PC35 Engine. we want to go a little more classic;).

Dont think it's one of Vince's.
If mine is anything to go by then Vince's shocks run underneath the swinging arm not suspended above. Only bike ive seen with a shock like that was an Asco F1.

not handy to put two identicial posts in two different topics...

but here's the answer: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=48521
