I bought this outfit in 1981 but it looked quite different then. It had 10" wheels on front and side and a 13" on the rear and I bought it complete with a Suzuki GT 750 engine. No idea who built it but the guy I bought it from told me it was built in England. After 1982 I made a lot of changes to the outfit, of the original chassis only the main beam and the headstock stayed, and parts of the front forks. I made a new swinging arm for the rear plus the links suspension as is seen on the pictures. The rear 13" wheel became the frontwheel and a wider 13" wheel was fitted to the rear. I also fitted suspension on the sidecar wheel and that was also replaced by a 13". I used a Suzuki again that year but after breaking down in almost every meeting I replaced it for a TZ 750 for 1984. After 1984 I took the engine out and sold the rest. I hope this helps a bit.
