Description

SALE AGREEDBoris is up for sale! This 1960s cold war warrior is the product of Uncle Joe at his finest!Boris is a Dnepr K-750 with leading link front suspension. a design which was in production for 2 years (I'm pretty sure) up to 1960 when they introduced sliding forks. He's very similar to a Ural. but when he was made the stout Russian workers just churned them out of the factory for the Russian Army. brand names and badges meant nothing! The original design dates back to the pre war BMW. which the Russians copied making thousands of similar sidecars in two factories during the second world war. After the war the design was improved with the addition of rear suspension. and became the K-750. then morphed into two 'designs' the Ural and the Dnepr. then ended up as Chang Jiang (full history can be found on 't internet). Spare parts are readily available for Oldtimer in Poland. I used them for all the parts I bought. excellent service and stock. Finished in olive drab. Boris features the original leading link front suspension. which has been completely rebuilt (hence the slightly different shade of olive drab). as well as a rebuilt headstock. new ball bearings etc. so it can go in a straight line. if that's where Boris wants to go! One think he has not changed is his opinion on which side of the road you should drive on. so the chair is on the right. yup. this is an LHD sidecar!Other work included a revised front brake. a pair of new carburettors. + throttle linkages. Boris is quite Anglicised now. he's been in the UK for 7 years. with an age related UK number plate. V5 and shiny new MoT test. but true to his old roots he still has his Russian 'Technical Passport' and kick starts easily if you play the 'old' Russian National anthem to him. MP3 file included!Boris comes with lots of largely irrelevant add ons. I leave it to the new owner if they want to keep them in situ. or lighten the load. they include a Soviet era radio. battery box. ammo case. nbsp;camouflage net. tow rope. nbsp;Communist party membership card. sadly not in Boris's name. a Soviet flag and a Russian Army peaked cap completed the picture. Let me know if you want any other information. Viewing by appointment in Cranleigh. SurreyCash on collection. delivery is possible. rates depending on distance and hassle.
