That is early BSA! the third hole being there for the D shaped speedo. Will try to get a picture later today. Cheers, Lex
-
Well Ron, have never seen one like that before!! Cheers, Lex
-
Nice work Ron, as always ! maybe Jan can tell a bit about its presumed history? One thing I can tell, that it had Thriumph wheels in it, and a 16H rear mudguard and carrier, abd a BSA KM20 petrol tank fitted, we managed to find all the missing parts in a short time, 10 months or so! Cheers, Lex

Here's a picture I have in my archive, not sure about the model?
-
Ok Phil, sorry have no spare stuff at the moment, am away from the PC, but will post some black and white pictures later. Cheers, Lex
-
Here's the page with the engine numbers, the 1937 date on your engine is correct, as it shows up as such. The good thing about these bikes is that they were never made postwar, and and were replaced in 1940 with the RT125, I have many, many original black and white pictures in my files with German army use. Cheers, Lex
-
Ok, had a look, and it's from 1936, see scan of page, those are the frame numbers, that is the second number down from your headstock plate, the top number is the original engine number, so engine has been replaced at some point, but this happened a lot after the war. Have no idea about the DVLA, as I'm in Holland, but can imagine if you add these scans to your application they can see that it is from 1936. Cheers, Lex
-
Can you post a picture of the headstock and plate please? and the engine number, I have the book with all the DKW numbers. Cheers, Lex
-
I guess you're lucky! it's on page 35 of the 2-3 October Ruddington sales, lot No. 816. Land Rover 88 G.P. Vehicle (series 88/IIa) No sale price. Will make a scan tonight. Cheers, Lex

Stanley, I have some unfired projo's for these, all A/T. tracer has been removed, let me know if interested. Was the AMX with Diesel engine modified by Sabiex from Belgium? I was once many years ago in their factory, where they were refurbishing them for the Mexican? army, a sight to see!! Cheers, Lex

Here's mine that I acquired from the states, it came from an 8th Airforce vet in Florida, that "liberated"it from a UK airfield when he went home in their bomber after his tour was up. Restored a long time ago, and not running at the moment, but have all ignition parts, so should be able to get it running again, I Always call it "The Dying Flea" for obvious reasons. Cheers, Le

Hello Kingsley, I know this bike, and the seller, he asked me to bring it over to the UK, but still unsure of when I'm coming over. If anyone needs the canvas grips for the throttle and clutch side, I had another batch made, same as on the restored bike above (that was from my prev. batch) you will have to glue a piece of canvas on yourself. The throttle clamp thingy is also in the making, but not the alu casting (yet) Cheers, Lex
-
Alan, no, have not come accross any of that stuff, it was usually not sold to the public, but given to friendly countries I believe, most of that went through the Crown Agents. Cheers, Lex
-
Hahaha! you can use that one made from tin foil, that I dropped off at Jan's place for you! Cheers, Lex PS, this might be the first part for an early Triumph for me! have started with worse bits.
-
Very nice work, as usual! in the meantime I have bought this butchered original, maybe Jan has some reject pieces to make this whole again? Cheers, Lex
-
Ok, Gary, sorry have no ino at all on those, but there is some restoration pages on one somewhere here?? Cheers, Lex
-
Gary, do you mean the US one, as pictured below, or the Brit 2 wheeled one?? Cheers, Lex
-
The vehicles are usually Ok, but axis uniforms is "not done" Cheers, Lex

Ok, just found this on Facebook, not strictly motorcycles, but still….. Start is outside Carentan. Cheers, Lex
-
Just replied on the Kradrider page, and have seen a big group with German bikes in the past too, but think they're all French? they only do their own French forums etc, never much on English speaking forums etc. A shame really, but 80% just cannot speak anything else than French. Cheers, Lex
-
Yes, and Martyn doesn't like the quality of their parts..... he makes his own, usually cheaper too. Cheers, Lex
-
Martyn Bratby still does very good work, takes some time, but worth the wait, no email or computer, Ron will have his phone number handy? below a carby he did for me. Cheers, Lex
-
Very nice Jan!! and I've seen him in action with the english wheel, even removed dents out of my Norton B4 sidecar mudguard!! keep up the good work!! Cheers, Lex
-
