DOUGLAS SIDECARS
Contrary to the practice of most motor cycle manufacturers, we do not produce touring machines and then fit someone else's sidecars to them, We design our own, knowing that a far more satisfactory combination can be turned out in this manner.
Douglas sidecars are of the same high quality as Douglas motor cycles, They are made at the Douglas Works by specially trained operatives, and embody refinements not usually found in sidecars costing far more. Prices are exceptionally reasonable because our output is so tremendous.
O.B. 25 SIDECARS
The chassis is strongly constructed of the highest grade tubing. It is attached to the motor cycle at four points, giving great rigidity without excessive weight. The body is anchored at the rear by two " C " springs, and at the front by two coil springs, giving a suspension that is at once comfortable and flexible, The mudguard is attached io the body and is thus also sprung, The body is coachbuilt throughout! and affords plenty of leg room for the passenger. Its lines are particularly pleasing - it IS built low to harmonise with the frame design. The body colour is Douglas blue, and luggage grid of ample proportions, windscreen and storm apron are provided. The locker space at the rear enables a surprising amount of luggage to be stowed away in safety, immune from rain. When sold with the machine, the sidecar carries sidecar lamp and fitting.
