Rohan, The 500cc Rennsport sidecar that Orrie Salter brought back to Australia in about 1963 is genuine, and I was dismayed to learn of its fate. At the same time I learned what happened to the 500cc Konig outfit of Nick and Gerry Borett, which was imported in the 70s - ended up in New Zealand. Both of those sidecars were unique and had a history before coming to Australia. The funny thing is that most of the historic racing 'experts' are generally ignorant about them. Our Australian 'historic' racing is not about history, the guys really don't know what that word means. The fellas are having fun, and I suppose that is the main thing, but in the meantime we are losing or genuine machinery in the lust for power through modernisation. I am not a sidecar person, my brother is into that. However if I had the opportunity to obtain a genuine 60s Rennsport outfit, I would have to restore to pristine condition and use it, even if only for demos. I'm sure the fellas did not see it for what it is, and never recognized it's intrinsic value. The monetary price is irrelevant.
