Civilian History:

I know from documentation that this GB spent some of its civilian life in Lincolnshire, Notts, Shropshire and Worcestershire.

This bike was acquired in June 2005. A point of personal/family interest the bike was purchased from the same village that my mother was evacuated to from London in 1942 - she was able to recall the house.

It remains a well used member of the collection and is my preferred mount and as such has been ridden extensively whilst on holiday over the past couple of years. In addition, this bike has been featured in the MVT website gallery.

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