(the girder forks are a bit on the expensive side if you can find them and don't fancy the New ones from India).

The rear frame has the side car lug, which at first I thought was post war (post war had two lugs) the single lug was for an RAF contract during the war, approx only 700 made. I picked it up west side of London, the guy was building up an M21...... as we got talking he noted my interest was WD bikes but he showed me his collection of Brit bikes......... I was gobsmacked, he must have had over £250,000.00 worth of bikes in his other shed.......all shiny and new.
I live in outer West London and used to have a 1940 built BSA WDM20, so may know of him?
Sold my WDM20 back in 2001, still miss it, but had great fun with it and used it for a lot of veterans events as well, including 1st Airborne Recce Association reunions when dear old Chalky White was still alive, who had been the 1st AB Recce Don R at Arnhem and was probably the last person to escape from the bridge area back to Oosterbeek, albeit a somewhat hazardous journey by m/c.
