Motorcycle History

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,

"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

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.
