This looks like a well engineered special.

I'm liking the look of the front hub.

I think it might need good anchors.

A lot prettier than a Suzi Kettle to my eyes. Wonder how cool it stays in traffic  . . . and how hot the rider's knees get!

I found more pictures. The accompanying text says:

I was looking thru some old SAAB related pics the other day and found some interesting images.  Here are some pics of Bob Sinclair and his 2 stroke powered SAAB motorcycle.I wonder who ended up with it?🧐

The more I see the more there is to like GB. A work of art!
When I was very young and impressionable I bought an A10 & sidecar with a Morris Minor engine transversely mounted. For £25 I didn't get much of a gem, but it did work despite all sorts of horrible aspects to the shoe-horning. Sadly, no picture. It had been put together by a bloke in the Portsmouth area about 1970-ish I think. I let someone take it away when my Dad demanded his shed back and I guess the usable Beesa bits were reapplied to their proper purposes, ad the really quite nice Swallow chair put to better use.
