As you can see, I have enclosed photos of our motorbike and sidecar; my husband Robin thought you might be interested.

We no longer have a sidecar but we have two motorbikes and still go to the Isle of Man every year.
Also, my husband has a receipt which was his father’s for a 1934 Matchless 1000 V-twin, which he bought on March 21, 1955 for the sum of £45, registration number AXT 465, which was sold at Bonhams for £9,200 in 2003.
Robin wondered if this was of interest to the present owner?
