First Japanese Sidecar to win ??
I have looked through my notes and also a number of websites and need to know the correct answer to this query.

"What was the first japanese-engined sidecar to win a TT, when, and who were the rider and passenger ? There seems to be a number of claims so let's have the accurate version please."

A pint in the Beer Tent for the person giving me the correct reply !!

OK then Ian,
When you confirm that I am correct send me a message to arrange for you to take me for a drink, better make it before practice starts or I will fail the breathalyser.
