Default What brand is this?

I just picked up this sidecar from my dad. He doesn't know the brand but said it was supposedly a one-off made by a small company that usually makes this model in a two passenger style. Any ideas?

Thank you!

Hard to tell from those pics. Can you try again with better focus?

Looks like a Velorex to me.

As mentioned, better photos would be a great help ... if the bra could be removed from the sidecar could give a better view of the body

I'll get some better pics once he brings it to me in a couple weeks. Still in his barn. I don't think it's Velorex, the front is not as deep, the windshield is different, the rear body seems shaped differently. I guess it remains an enigma until then.

Thanks!

Gonzo ... thanks for the better photos ... is it ok if I show your photos around to try to find what make the car is ...

it does resemble a Velorex but I'm not sure that's what it is ... I can see there is a United Sidecar Association sticker on the dash ... have you checked with them, that's where I plan to start ...
