We had one in 1978, our first sidecar. My wife hated it as all she could see from the car was my right kneecap and on the right side all she saw were tailpipes. When it rained, water came up the pretty flaired fender and into the sidecar. Then went to a new 111974 Velorex 560, one of the last ones sold, then changed continued on , having had a total of 11 sidecars in 30 years. Doug

I need to know exactly where inside the car the label is located, like under the seat, on the side, left or right, up under the front lip or back lip, on the bottom or on the top....thanks....

Thanks so much for the picture....that is exactly what I needed, they all are probably in the same place, in mine, that area is covered by a support board the previous owner placed in the car, although I had that removed to work on it there was no label in sight, the label was probably painted over at some time, I'll attack that place with some solvent and see if I can pick it up....
thanks again...appreciate the picture and info....
Bill
