    1943 Ariel W/NG motorcycle

    Hi Fellows
    I share with us a new project. I found this motorcycle all restored by civilian, but the engine and frame numbers are Britisth War Departament Production.









    A WD pic. In the future, it will look like this





    I like this Bren home made carrier! I have a Bren to install ..


    Regards!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Luis, let me know the frame and engine number, I'll look it up .......... looking at the bike It won't take a lot to get it back to a WD bike, I'm not up on Ariel,s but had the chance when I bought my Matchless, cold weather stops play for me in the work shop but when I build the other It will be insulated and very very comfortable to work in, only problem then is I need to build the house extension where the old workshop was.........

    If you need any particular parts let me know as its a Minefield when it comes to finding bits, only when talking to other Military vehicle owners do you start to find and get to know the small garages, dealers , collectors which are overflowing with used and new spares.

    Hi bigduke! Thanks for your help!
    Weeks ago i buy to Draganfly a Parts List according to my frame number.
    The book Britishicon Forces Motorcycles 1925-45 by Chris Orchard have a list of Army contracts.
    The frame XG 44964 march 1944.
    The engine BH 21762 march 1942.
    Now i need internal parts to restore front wheel hubs (brakes shoes) and then accesories like Carrier Bare, Panniers frame, Lucas Blackout Headlight, side stand, etc etc.

    Your frame is from contract number S5514, 3000 bikes produced, dates from 06/01/44 to Nov 44, cost £62.13s.6d frame numbers between XG44251-47250 engine number should be between BH42001 - 45000 and WD serial allocation number between 5363021- 5366020

    The book you mention is excellent, thats were all that info come from , try to stay away from reproduction stuff, especially the indian stuff......

    I went to look at an Enfield before christmas but it was border line but the guy was a world of knowledge and lots of british bike parts, I walked off with a crank case set for the Matchless.......
