After an 1100 mile round trip to Inverurie Scotland to collect side car then down to Worcester for the bike then back to Durham I've finally got both parts of the puzzle.
Bike is a 1990 BMW K100 RS 16v with 43k on her & every mot & service from start to present + loads of receipts etc.
Car is a Watsonian Squire ST3 with screen, both hoods and paper work inc history.
One of the main reasons for such a long trip to get these was the fact that they had full history etc & anything near me was none existent. The pics are the ones from the previous owners. I was about to take some after unloading but the heavens opened so as soon as I get a chance I will put better ones on. Just waiting now to study fixing points/subframe then it's attach, toe in & mot. Thanks to sidecar paul for the sketches he sent me, much appreciated. 
By the way it says 4 valve on engine but 16 valve on spec page of BMW, am I correct in saying that it's 4 valves per cylinder which becomes 16 valve?

Thanks lads, I will post pics as soon as I get started on her. I thought that the 2 & 4 valve are the same as the 8 & 16 valve but just wanted to check so thanks for that Al-58.

Cheers Charlie, weather's good this morning so I'll be looking over her later but my home team (Wigan Rugby League) are playing Sydney Roosters live this morning in the world cup challenge so I'm going to enjoy that first mate before rolling my sleeves up.

Hahaha, cheers Paul. As for the brain removal I think I'll use up the last remaining cells getting it all to come together.

that's why I excel at riding a sidecar  Very Happy 
I always wondered why people say "it's a no-brainer"

Now, I know.

Thanks Paul
