CCR-JAP by Smith Brothers

CCR-JAP was a motorcycle produced in 1912, by Smith Brothers of Nottingham.

This machine was a sidecar outfit with a 6hp JAP V-twin engine. It had a three-speed Chater-Lea gearbox, engine clutch, chain transmission and Druid forks. The sidecar was attached at five points and the body was well-sprung with a substantial windscreen and folding roof, and the sidecar wheel was located well to the rear. A second acetylene lamp was affixed to the body just forward of the passenger door. This model appears to have had chain drive.

Smith Brothers also made a solo CCR with a 4½ hp twin that had belt drive and, as did the combination model, an Armstrong three-speed hub gear.

The New 6 h.p. C.C.R.-J.A.P.

The 6 h.p. sidecar illustrated is the outcome of tests which have been made by Messrs. Smith Bros., a Nottingham firm. The engine is of the ordinary 6 h.p. J. A. P. twin type, fitted with Simms magneto, and B. and B. carburetter. It has a Chater-Lea three-speed gear box, with Chater-Lea disc clutch on the engine-shaft. Chain transmission and drip-feed lubrication are other points of interest. The sidecar is attached to the motor cycle at five points, and is sold complete with hood, wind screen, etc.
