AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A rare opportunity for the true enthusiast of classic racing: this unique BUSCH classic race sidecar breathes pure motorsport history.
The foundation of this special project was laid in 1976, in close collaboration with Dieter Busch himself. At the time, no compromises were made on quality or performance; on the contrary... Everything about this sidecar combination is built with the best materials available at that time.
The plan was ambitious: an OW31 Yamaha race engine, combined with 500cc TZ cylinders. A configuration that promised impressive circuit performance.
The other components are equally formidable. The brakes are from Lockheed, known for reliability and braking power, while the suspension is provided by KONI shock absorbers—at the time the standard in racing. Every detail reflects the uncompromising choices made to create a competitive and forward-looking machine.
It concerns the fully drivable chassis, exclusive of the engine block, but all other components are present. Moreover, the sidecar is supplied with a comprehensive and documented history, from the initial construction phase to the last race in which this machine was active.
This is not an ordinary project, but a living piece of motorsport history. Perfect for collectors, restorers, or enthusiasts seeking an authentic and characterful classic with a unique story.
In short: a rare opportunity to own an iconic BUSCH sidecar with a rich racing history.
Optionally, a race trailer is available, and assistance with transportation can be provided.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
