Quote from Guest on January 18, 2009, 8:40 pmPictures are working fine. Nice find there...looks like something I'd drag home!
How about a clear shot of the rear?
I can see a Triumph decal behind the cockpit perhaps the other numbers and letters will give a clue.Don in Nipomo

Quote from Guest on January 18, 2009, 11:38 pmI'll get some better pics tomorrow out of the truck. It has been raining here all day, that why those were so crappy. it does have a couple triumph decals on it, but they appear to be non factory(crooked). I have looked it over and have found no numbers or signs of a vin plate what so ever. Thanks for the input and I will have better pics tomorrow nite.

Quote from claude #3563 on January 19, 2009, 7:43 amIt is an international like Mike said. The Watsonian Flight sidecars were similar but the way I understand it had a fin on the rear deck.The attached picture below says 'flight' but it is an international sidecar.
Click here to see a Watsonian Flight with the fin. Very similar to the international sidecar :

Mike,
Were the flight fenders like the one in the link I posted? http://www.geocities.com/cook_jerry/SIDECAR.htmlIn other words the same as other Watsonians??
Reason I ask is that we did some work on and mounted a 1954 Watsonian Avon (see attached) and the fender on it was totally different.

The only ones I've seen have been 60's and early 70's vintage, and they all had the lights molded in. Even then, I'm no authority on English sidecars. I really couldn't say about one that old. Maybe this would be a good question for Doug B.

Quote from Guest on January 19, 2009, 9:40 pmHope these pics will help. Any idea where I can see pics of one original? What about year model? maybe a rough idea of what its worth? I got this in a swap with a buddy, but he is also clueless about it(he thought it was a Triumph because of the decals). Thanks for all the input!!
