lovely looking bike indeed I bought my m20 untried off ebay 2 years ago and although not as tidy as yours appears I am still quite happy with my purchase.As far as the rear light goes I use a repro lucas tubular type on a prewar type numberplate which is at least mot worthy and looks quite acceptable nigel

I am fairly certain there was at least 1 austin 8 tourer at beltring this year and unless I am very much mistaken there is ! although probably cicilian running around Jersey,perhaps you know it Tony Nigel

proof of how important it is to have a workshop manual and take plenty of photos prior to disassembly because you can never remember exactly how things go back together or perhaps this is a LRDG special vehicle?

Great pics I wish it had not clashed with Malvern but you cant be in 2 places at once -
very thought provoking tv ,for a change,especially on november 11 Nigel

I know Tony is liable to be biased towards his home land but everything he says about Noirmont point is true ,it is a superb sight and along with other cios run sights in the islands must surely set the standard for bunker restoration and presentation that many other commercial and private efforts can only dream of Nigel

not only allied vehicles trying to be axis but at least on changes from lhd to rhd whilst parked

there is a website dedicated to military bicycles which contains info on bikes from many different countries I have not looked at it for a long time now but seem to remember it being called warbikes .com Nigel

m20 off ebay ,2 parabikes off ebay b40 off a mates brother who kept saying I should buy it I wish a few more mates had brothers like that

As Tony says Noirmont Point Jersey this site is well worth a visit as along with the command bunker shown there is a fire control tower ,several gun positions ,ammo bunkers crew quarters AA positions trench systems a couple of memorials and various other small structures to see. Check the cios website for opening times of command and fire control bunkers but everything else is open 24/7 Nigel

So whose going then? Iknow there is plenty of us in the area and what else would you be doing on a november sunday otherwise ,decorating washing the dog go on you know it makes sense Nigel

I may be wrong but I think all the German remains were removed and sent to mainland cemetries or back to Germany several years after the war but I think there is still British military graves there.There is certainly graves from the ship HMS Charybdiss which sunk in local waters during ww2 Nigel

keep up the good work I am sure it is appreciated Nigel

always fancied a look inside fort Southwick but as it is not possible I would recomend fort Nelson as a local alternative excellent collection of artillery as well as the fort itself Nigel

Question - has military vehicle restoration risen or declined?
ford 369 replied to Jack's topic in MV Chatter
Excellent job Ben well worth the wait and the effort to have something so out of the ordinary -
Unusual yes but no reason why not as proved by the article about the first black officer to lead white troops in ww1 in this months Britain at war magazine
