Looking for a nice sidecar compliment to a 1970 Interceptor. Any ideas?

Watsonian-Squire still produce a number of classic designs, and they're used to dealing with Royal Enfields, Indian ones, at least!

I'd be looking for something this style.

That must from that same recent TV advert where an old codger (probably younger than me) has a bad knee but then rubs on some magic ointment.

It's such good stuff that he then goes out to his garage, picks up a Royal Enfield Bullet crankcase and seconds later has turned it into a 1960s Triumph and rides off into the sunset.

Must get some of that.

And, of course, he changed the sidecar from the continental side in the earlier ads... it's now on the left.

I've had a Watsonian sidecar like the one in the picture since 2007. No problems except one flat tyre and one of the links to the bike broke but was replaced with a stronger one.

Mine's the shorter version where you get into the boot by tipping the seat forwards. The slightly longer one accesses the boot via a boot lid.

A lot of fun. I like it.

Looking at some of the other (non-sidecar) listings on that dealer's site, I think I'd rather have this one.

Probably wrong on this site, but:

I’ve had some Airheads and they may be in my blood.

Inder sidecars look good, and only about £1200.
