Have just acquired the remnants of a b40wd. Was sold to me as a Stafford but having had those in the past I was sure the frame was different. Have found the frame number B40GB 3213 which leads me to believe it is a wd B40 issued to the UK army in 1969. The only original bits appear to be the rear wheel and the frame itself so I am thinking of creating a trials/green lane type thing. I have read a few articles on this and it seems that the wd bikes are particularly suited to this, or am i mistaken? Also, I have looked at various frame pictures online and none seem quite like mine, although it does have the bracket for the remote oil filter - any advice greatly appreciated
