It's a kneeler outfit with the "chair wheel" where an engineer would put it for maximum stability. The engine on the pallet is not part of the kit; apart from that- over to someone who knows what they are talking about. :rolleyes:

Konig BMW?

A simply beautifully fabricated monocoque 'kneeler'. By provenance it's British, but I don't want to lead any potential memories...yet. Separate bodywork has yellow and 'chocolate' livery and the name 'Brian Anderson Racing'.

Did the rider lose one eye in a broken spanner accident?

I really have no idea. It is the BRM combination made in 1976-77 for Dick Hawes and which he rode in the 1977 IoM Sidecar TT. It was originally Yamaha-powered and was designed and made to his order by Stanley-BRM at Bourne in the period before they started work on the P207 F1 project. It is beautifully made but wasn't quite up to the job...

In that case it is definitely not, as the rider who lost his eye was a multiple world champion; he is a friend of Bob Curl's and I can't for the life of me remember his name; it may have been Steve Webster.
