BSA B40WD

[kdgipsy]

Hi all

I have recently purchased a 1967 BSA B40WD that I'm wanting to get on the road ASAP for shows over the summer. I'm trying to sort its history so I can preserve it. 

I have today managed to get the military reg no and B card for it.

I was wondering if any one can assist in de loading it as it does not make a lot of sense to me. 

Some one has kindly worked out it origanaly started life in Scotland in the Royal Army Medical Corps. So any info on that would be good too

I believe that CVD Irvine was, when you look at Irvine Central Hospital, the cleared area to the north east.  The A78 Irvine bypass runs on the other side of the site.  

It then became the Volvo bus factory before that closed. 

Eglinton Park was used for training by the army during WW2 and the castle was used for target practice.
