Civilian History:

This machine joined the collection in September 06 after a chance meeting and conversation with the previous owner at a classic bike show in Norfolk, where 3 of the Mitchell collection WD B40’s were being shown.

I know nothing of its civilian history.


It retains the vast majority of the original WD specification equipment, with few exceptions.
