This bike was restored around 20 years ago by the previous owner. Very bad I must say. Everything was painted with a brush, under this layer of paint I came across an old layer of service brown. Remnants of this color was on all parts. I don't know if the rear frame belongs to the front frame. I didn't know that a sidecar could be mounted on the rear frame.

All the parts I have were with the bike. So I don't know if there are any Indian made parts. I have replaced the lugs to which the panniers are mounted, so there are no holes in them yet.

The story goes that this BSA was left behind in the Netherlands after the war. But I have no proof of this.

The lower mounting tubes do indeed run uphill. If I put this right, the panniers are too short. They will then no longer reach the top of the pannier frame. The length of the panniers is 36.5cm or just over 14 inches.
