Attached is a photo that I received lately - the lady on the bike is my mother and we believe this photo was taken c 1953 as indicated by the licence plate on the bike. Any thoughts as to the vintage of this particular bike? None of us in the family recall much about the bike - but we were thrilled to get this photo and curious to discover a bit more about the bike. This may then give us a clue as to where the bike came from. Any replies welcome - thanks for your help! ronc123@sympatico.ca
I have a complete albeit non running patrol car. I have been in touch with George Helm and while he has forgotten more about R/E than any ten people, the patrol car was not some thing he spent a lot of time with.My questions are as follows: Where was the vin number located on the frame if it existed at all?What size battery was used? Was the utility boxed lined, if so with what.Although my machine is complete the orginal box was removed in favor of a passenger seat, the orginal box was removed and stored. The floor of the box is there,but it looks like a liner should have been in the box, yes/no.

I know very little about them but they were an in-line engine layout with shaft drive like a BMW of that era
