Greenwood's sidecar racers - photos

[olderdan]

I think Owen Greenwoods racer got banned in the mid sixty's as not being in the true spirit of sidecar racing (it was also maybe too successful). Although it was referred to as a trike it had in fact four wheels the rear ones were 8 inches apart and the whole front end was basic Mini Cooper. It was in many ways a logical development and would have been interesting to have seen it create a new class of racing.
