Marking identification on 42 WLC
All.
I would appreciate you support to solve mistery on a 1941 WLC (s/n 42WLC1807). The bike is almost in batlefield condition. Found in Europe lately. The CDN sensus No on tanks could be legible twice with one and two inches high letters+numbers....CC 4-201745...the number codification do not match with Bruce Palmer info and listing of the liberator.be website In addition, the number 43 in large size is painted on each fendrer. There is a D13 code in a rectangle on the rear fender, just over the tail lamps. Is anyone could associate these markings to any units? Any information available? Thanks. Marc Belanger |

Can you post some photos?
my first bike was a WLC, and I learned to ride it courtesy of an old DR from 1 Provost Company. During our association he filled my head with WLC info - which I had forgotten until I read your post. |

42 WLC markings
Since it is such an early bike the census number could have been 42-?-1745 but I agree with the thought it should have a 1941 number. More likely the engine and/or the fuel tanks have been exchanged. Is the frame marked? It should have the engine number stamped on the frame over top of the tool box. Without that you have a bitza, assembled from parts.
