Chater Lea, sidecar and trailer

[Greybeard]

My guess is, the brakes on the CL were never going to be powerful enough to cause the bloke in the sidecar to get squished by the box falling on him

Frontage on Google Street view still shows Chapter Lea over the door.

Amazing! I hope the building has a preservation order on it.

I think that lintel should be removed and presented to our Member Mr Chater Lea, to adorn some part of his premises. These things are important!

Hi All
In the photo's I have seen some time ago the lettering looked to be chisseled away but you could still see the outline, so it looks to have been re done, I thought the lettering was raised originally??
maybe my photo is poor quality?

I would dearly like to bring my CL back to the factory for its 100th birthday in 2025
I can dream can't I
I really need to get on with it and get it finished, but its not like a BSA A10 where virtually every part can be found with relative ease
