Left hand sidecar or reversed negative?

Smart thinking. Hard to read the front number plate.

The 'K' on the nose of the sidecar and the petrol tank are the right way round. With what appears to be blade girder forks and twin fork springs could it be a 350 Puch?....Ian

The high-mounted headlight looks French rather than Germanic but the sidecar nose has the look of a Stoye and the use of the tube running from the chassis above the bodywork is also a bit of a German thing.

We've discussed before the appearance of Left-hand chairs on what appear to be pre-war civilian models.

I have an idea that left-hand sidecars were used in Germany prior to the war, in much the same way that some French cars were RHD. There was not yet 100% agreement about where the rider / driver should sit.

The sidecar looks a bit like a Precision sidecar, You see them mostly on the continent. I think they were made in France.

I believe that Precisions were licence-built Stoye's made in both France and Belgium (my brother in law had a post war Belgian one).

Stoye seem to have been bigger than Steib, pre-war but had the misfortune to be in Leipzig so they ended up on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain.
