Help with 1942 Royal Enfield 350cc OHV WCO military sidecar

[Rob van Meel]

Hi Radek,

The normal price for Royal Enfield girder forks (with the check springs for the CO) start form Euro 300 and upwards, depending on luck and condition.

In the two private collection pictures with sidecars: the bottom photograph is a Norton Big Four. The top one looks like it is privately entered into the home guard? There is really not much to go on: the large headlamp could be early war, but without the black-out looks more civilian pre-war. The exhaust pipe looks like an OHV, but not 100% certain though!

We was in Kysice village near Pilsen, something as at 60. celebration of the end of the ww2.

This bike was on Milweb a couple of weeks ago. The front end is definately ex Matchless, and I'm sure the seller reckons he could help with the correct girder fork arrangement. Would make a nice restoration project.
