Yea, no more traffic jams and it wouldn't matter which side of the road you were on. Assuming one can keep it on the road at all ::)

They are quite different to mine, 79mm x 120mm stroke mines the "short stroke" model 82mm x 113mm
All 3 wheel are interchangable the drive to the sidecar wheel is via a dog clutch and an Austin 7 propshaft when they sold them to the public after the war the driveshaft was removed as on tarmac because there was no differential they would not go round corners.I have seen a couple at shows etc and I think one is used in old bike trials.
If the link below works have a look around

I remember seeing one belt across the muddy field at the Capel Curig Dragon site... he made it look easy. However, all who followed sank up to their axles in mud  ;)

Yes, it's one of my favourites too. If you look closely you will see the front mudguard goes outside the girders to accommodate the wide front tyre. Lovely bit of kit.
