1941 Matchless G3L, 350cc. Registration number WFO 420 (non transferrable). Frame number 5, the V5C states 5. Engine number D.LD 428 9787.
Sold with the V5C.
Developed from the pre-war G3, the 'L' in the G3/L stood for "lightweight" in response to the War Office requirement for a motorcycle more suited to off-road use. The real innovation of the G3/L was the "Teledraulic" forks, which were the first telescopic design with oil damping.
WFO has been owned by our vendor since 2019, it would make a great start for a WD restoration.
Sold with the V5C.
It has been running in the last year but not recently. The frame number has been painted over, only 5 is visible, I have update the description with the V5C details and an image of the 5.
