British Sidecars of the Post-War Boom 1945-1965

About British Sidecars of the Post-War Boom 1945-1965

The war had left a population with a desire for personal family transport. The demand for this far outstripped the existing supply capacity. Cars were out of the question; it would be fifteen years before the British infrastructure would have the capability and manufacturing techniques to serve up the cars needed at the price required. There was no shortage of motorcycles in the country and nothing else could fulfil the public need other than the humble sidecar. Then great British entrepreneurs stepped in and made it all possible. This book is about those men and the sidecars they made. Those post war sidecar entrepreneurs were heroes, they provided the holidays, the days out, the work transport, the trips to the shops, long before the Mini or the A40 ever existed. The book gives a history of 42 sidecar manufacturers along with details and over 200 pictures of models produced between 1945 and 1965.
