After the war, ex-WD bikes were sold off and eagerly scooped up by the public. They have seen a resurgence of interest in recent times, with 'wartime' or 1940s/1950s re-enactment events. This WD M20 was sold off by the MoD in 1968, as evidenced by the original VE60 green registration book, when registered on 2nd August 1968 by Dawsons Cars & Motorcycles in Nottingham as OTV 920G. It was sold later the same month to the first owner who kept it until 1974, when it was purchased by the vendor. It was used by him for only a short period before being dry-stored until today. It will, therefore, require re-commissioning and safety checks before use by a new owner. Included with it are a spare saddle, the rear rack, pannier frames, and a sidecar frame with wheel. Documentation comprises an old-type V5, the aforementioned VE60 logbook and sundry papers.
