Manufactured by Austel Engineering of Maidenhead, Berkshire, 1985-1991
Chris Castell fitted Morris Mini engines to motorcycles designed for solo and sidecar use. Some 11 machines were built, no two the same. As combinations they were probably brilliant. Aesthetically not so much.
The Austel was offered as a Squire combination using a 1300cc engine, 4-speed gearbox with reverse, automotive tyres and brakes, and Leyland driveshaft and universal joints.
