      Also found a scooter+VW in the UK.
      This VW sidecar was built by Jason Dyer of Resto-Tec out of the UK, which makes sense since the side car is on the left side of the Lambretta scooter.It was featured in July 2007 issue of Scootering magazine.Well done Jason!

        I don't know if you noticed, but that is a VW 1600 duel port engine and front wheel and brake set up. I wonder how they transfer the power to the rear wheel.

          Looks like they also rode the bike without the sidecar.


          “what we have here are the vestiges of a Yamaha frame, fork tubes from a CB650, a right angle gearbox and a centifugal clutch mated to a 1600cc VW engine”

            BMW parts were so expensive in the UK in the 50's that sliding a VW engine into R50/R65 chassis was quite common.
            Good friend of mine emigrated here from the UK, he'd had three of them in the UK - and brought one with him.

              Looks like a home made frame to me and is chain driven.
