Here's a few pictures of my new 1943 Matchless 3GL .
The census number ties up with the frame number, and it looks as though the engine has been changed. But as the bike was used by the Royal Military Police ERII (see transfer on tank) after 1952 when the WW2 census numbers would have been obsolete, so they should not be present. The number plate has the current civilian registration number but the plate looks like it originally had the post 1947 numbering system.
On the right hand side of the tank is a black panel which faintly reads "Military Motorcycle Museum". The formation sign is the post WW2 one for the 48th Division.
Any feedback/comments/observations greatly appreciated.
Regards
Ian
