Unique Barbour sidecar outfit

Watsonian Squire, sidecar manufacturer and UK importer of Royal Enfield motorcycles, celebrates its centenary this year.

To mark the occasion, the firm has combined its two business interests and teamed up with clothing brand Barbour to create a one-off sidecar outfit.

Based around a Royal Enfield Bullet Classic and Watsonian GP Manx sidecar, it is finished in gloss black with details inspired by the Barbour International Original A7 jacket, as worn by Steve McQueen in the 1964 International Six Days Trials event.

They include gold graphics, special tank badges that incorporate both the Barbour and Royal Enfield logos, and the use of tartan for the seat backs and sidecar lining.

The outfit made its public debut at last weekend’s Watsonian centenary rally, and an appearance is also due at September’s Goodwood Revival.

Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
