Site/forum for older bikes?

[danson67]

I have a friend in the process of decluttering...with a '50s Claud Butler SWB tandem and a couple of Watsonian sidecars which he is looking to sell, based in Brighton.

They seem a bit on the veteran side to be of great interest here, (or to me) but do any of you know of any forums etc aimed at the slightly more veteran/vintage market?
No sales on http://www.v-cc.org.uk, I found http://www.oldbike.eu that might be useful for selling them, but is there anything else out there?

All the best,

Re:

I worked for Watsonian up until last year but still in touch with them. They do collect older stuff for their showroom but mainly for the motorcycle side which they are still in production. I could ask with more details if they would be interested?

Re:

That would be interesting...he's quite like them to go to a museum or such.
One of the Watsonians is a little kiddy version, aluminium skinned, boat shape, with a curved plastic windscreen and deckchair seat. The other is a (possibly homebuilt) dog carrier, with a ramp/flap out the back.

I'll get some pictures.

All the best,
