Title: Could somebody identify what bike this is please?
Post by: pinkdigital on December 19, 2016, 08:17:44 AM

Hello

Attached is a photo my late father's bike. I guess it is something British but please move to a new forum if I am wrong.

Also any help identifying the sidecar would be appreciated.

Thanks

Looks like one of the many variations of Norton OHV single to me.

Think it may be a Busmar.
They made a range of such models, over some years.

BSA (and other makers) made something similar too, could have been carried over from an earlier bike. There were myriads of makers back then, could be tough to precisely pin it down,
wee lassie is obscuring some details, and the view is not from the side to see it well....
