A top of the range sporting outfit of the era in front of a large new house. Lucky man if they were both his.
The bike is a Royal Enfield Model 182 Sports and the sidecar a matching RE Model 4 Sports. The chap seems to be wearing a uniform but I have no idea for what it is.

He has leather cuffs on that coat,which looks to be heavy fabric, I wonder if he was some kind of service driver? bus, heavy goods perhaps. Wish I had his bike.
ReplyDeleteYes, I wondered about a driver of one sort or another. Expensive bike for a bus driver mind. Those late twenties Enfield twins are gorgeous bikes, wish I had one too!
DeleteHe might be quite well off if thats his house behind, looks like a new or recent build, Coat also seem to have piping around collar and cuffs; might just be and old coat for riding in? Whats up with his right hand> is that a big glove? YH a london reg, only issued May June 1927.
