MEMORIES FROM 1955 AND 1956.

How we got about in the 1950,s as we did not have a car. The tandem had a Watsonian sidecar and was powered by a 49cc Power-pak engine on the rear wheel. Mum had a 32cc Cyclemaster engine in the back wheel of her cycle and changed it for a 49cc NSU Quickly moped with a seat on the back.
The pics were taken in Wales, Porthcall and Blackpool.

Those old caravans were hired out to anyone. No toilets in the vans either.

Very best wishes,

Thanks for sharing. I used to commute to work ( about three miles, to Ilford Essex ) on a Power Pak in 1968. Sold it with a broken carb after it was dropped, to a chap in Hull. Would love another.
