If it had been a civilian bike there would be some point in trawling the factory records to look for bikes sold new in the area but not in the case of ex-WD.

Copes of Dudley were one of the major outlets for ex-WD Nortons in the late 1940s.

Hi Just found out that above "carandclassic" Big4 16H bike sold . Anyone on here bought it? Looking to buy a similar spec bike myself.I see that one may have been for sale earlier in Cornwall before ending up for sale in Kent. Sorry i missed it now.
Anyone got a 16h with spare Big4 engine sitting about???
