This is my father in law's tub, he has a brain injury, and doesn't know the year. It has auto quality paint, classic spoke wheel, upholstered seat, and pet tether. Proceeds will go to his care.
Apparently I cannot attach files, yet.
Here is the marketplace listing.

Michael @themuzicman, I may be wrong (I was wrong 13 years ago), but I do not believe that is a Watsonian Manx GP, or what Watsonian sidecars calls their GP Manx. In fact, it looks nothing like any of the sidecars that Watsonian sidecars makes....as I just reviewed every sidecar that Watsonian sidecars offers...and none of them look like the one you are selling.
Now, again, I may be wrong, but the possibility of me being wrong is less than 0.314159%.
PLEASE, check any records that your Father may have on this sidecar, and see if you can find what Brand and Model this sidecar is.
I could venture to guess, but ....let's get the facts, so that a potential buyer knows what they are looking at.
Thank you, and I wish the best for your Father. I know all too well what living with a brain injury is like.

@miles-ladue Thank you for your feedback. We don't have any records of the sale, and I am actually relying on what google AI told us. I apologize for the incorrect info, if that is the case.
Is there somewhere on the car that I can look at see what it is?
Michael @themuzicman, usually there is a small metal plate riveted onto the Sidecar FRAME rails, on the lower frame rails, and usually on the front frame rails, rather than the rear frame rails.
Look at the steel tubing used as the Sidecar FRAME, and you should find an identification tag or plate.
Lesson for everyone.... NEVER believe anything that AI tells you.
I asked AI if I was the World's Greatest Lover, and the AI said ..."Rudolph Valentino...is that you ? "

I believe that maybe a latter variation of the spirit of America sidecar?
Florida sidecars?
It has some extra barwork which looks useful particularly the bumper
The little safety barrier for the passenger?
Was for a pet?
And a very pretty blue paint job.
I'd match my bike to it.
@brstr yes, that was for Millie, his dog, who would ride with him.
What arrangements can we make for you to see it?
@themuzicman a very expensive air ticket......... also the chair is on the wrong side. I'm in Western Australia 🇦🇺 🙃...
That suspension being a coil over shock has me thinking it's a Spirit of America Eagle Sidecar and/or a California Sidecar; California sidecar aquired SOA bac in the 70's I think, I believe some of the California sidecars had no suspension if memory serves me correctly.
If you wanted to be certain, it should have a tag under the seat - you'd need to pull the carpet up to see it. It will have 4 digits. That said, it looks like it's been modified, so it may or may not be there.
I'm actually not far from you -- I'm in Muskegon. I don't have the capital to take this on, but I just started a sidecar fabrication shop. If you sell this to anyone local who needs help with setup, I'd love to help them out as I just started a sidecar business at the beginning of the year. You can find me on Facebook by searching <a href=" removed link " target="_blank" rel="noopener">MI Sidecar or feel free to call or text the shop number at (231) 769-2348
@mi_sidecar_usa The filter took your Facebook link out, but I will give you a call 🙂
@brstr It would be a fun ride to/from Sydney, though.
Thank you to everyone who has been kind and helpful as I stumbled through the process of selling this sidecar. I was able to find a buyer, and they will be picking it up in a couple of weeks. And, no, they don't think it is a Watsonian 🙂
