jackstringer Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I have a '61 Matchless G3L. I have been told its from Norway but I was wondering if anyone knew more about the bike and weather it is possible to get a service history for the bike. It has 'Cevuld Met' on one side panel and wondered if anyone knows what it means. Pictures etc are here, http://www.jackstringer.co.uk/bikes/Matchless_G3/ Thanks, Jack Stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79x100 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 "Gevuld met" is Dutch - "Filled with" - What have they painted out ? It can't be 'anti-freeze', can it ? Presumably oil type. I believe that the Netherlands forces did use the G3LS. It may be worth a post on the WM20 forum as it is Dutch based and there are a few natives there who may know more http://pub37.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=3155626639&frmid=16&msgid=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackstringer Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Well I have since got the dating records back for the bike and it was sold to the Dutch Army. "Gevuld met" is Dutch = "Filled with" would mean Fill with Oil. As the filler cap is for the Oil. It might of stated the thickness of oil. I will have to look it up. Strange its written in such large letters. I still have more to research. Jack Stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
