[QUOTE="davidd, post: 87520, member: 1177"] I had a Hollandia, which was supplied by BMW when the Steib was no longer supplied. It was a copy of the TR500. I think the problem that you will run into is that there are no Brittish side cars of that period and style available in right hand drive. There might be a few that were made, but there was no serious demand for left hand drive side cars outside of the UK that were not satisfied by the home market of the country itself. Steib supplied both left and right, but you do not want a Steib. You can keep looking for a British right hand side car and one will pop up eventually, but it would probably have a good price on it due to the rarity. Another alternative is to build one. The frames are quite simple, as seen with the Royal frame above. The bodies are often just aluminum panels with wood frames. The Hollandia suspension is simple rubber bands, but a coil over is easy to find. David [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
