This may go some way to explaining the existence of a 1937 sidecar geared 600cc Norton with a mid 1940 serial (thanks to Jan/Rewdco for copying so much interesting stuff at the VMCC library while I was staring with glazed eyes at Norton factory ledgers ! :relaxed: )



I'm still not clear what the War Office intended for passenger body sidecars..There is no evidence of any tactical use for them..Presumably just War Office liason ?
