Streamline Bodywork.
The effective dashboard and screen of the Hawk hexagon sidecar.
Hawk Eng. and Sidecar Mfg. Co., Hampton Street, Brighton.
If the evidence of the road is any criterion, the sporting type of sidecar is slowly replacing the old high back and broad nose models. In the Hawk range there are to be found streamline patterns which offer the minimum of wind resistance. This question has been closely studied by the designer, and he has found from practical experience that the models he has on placed market are ideal for the man who wishes to carry the minimum dead-weight and at the same time provide comfort for the passenger and give reasonable luggage space.
The most attractive model on the stand is probably the Standard Racing De Luxe, finished in cream, and equipped with a well-fitted dash and a small hood which folds neatly and quickly away when not needed. This model with a body weighing 40 lb. is offered at £25.
In addition to the range of sporting sidecars a tradesman's carrier is offered, and this, too, has been designed with the object of giving as little wind resistance as possible, although providing good accommodation. The price of this model is £25 10s. A standard touring model is also marketed, following similar but more commodious lines to the racing Hawk. This sells at £30.
