Sidecar Sunday

Classic MotorCycle Dec1983

 Sidecar apparently made by Harrington of Hove, though I cannot find any specific mention of sidecar bodies in Harrington histories. Harrington was a coachbuilder from 1897 to 1966, beginning with horse drawn vehicles, continuing with bodies for cars like Bentley and Bugatti, and becoming better known for its buses and coaches, particularly after WW2. They also became adept at working with fibreglass, making GT conversions for Sunbeam Tigers and Triumph TR4s.

    Interesting economical design ruined by that AHH-OOO-GAH horn!

    I missed that skull, maybe for when the horn don't work!

    Unknown: probably not amphibian, there was a fashion at the time for a nautical theme to sidecars, with portholes even toy anchors and ventilator tubes. There were a few that actually floated... see Dec 26.
