That's a rare outfit. It is a BSA Sunbeam S8 motorcycle with a Busmar Astral sidecar. See http://www.onthebeam.co.uk/S8.html

It is strange that that is the second picture of a Busmar sidecar that I have seen in 2 days! The other was on a jigsaw puzzle seen in Stowe on the Wold.

What great pictures.It really does show a completely different way of life,even with the overcrowding and uncomfortable ride I'd expect great fun was had by all.

I use a program called "Pix resizer" a free download and very easy to use.

Can do batch or single changes, also increase or decrease the size and change formats.

http://pixresizer.en.softonic.com/

Been using it for a few years now with no problems
