John, Steven sent me an unsolicited set of pictures. Here is just one as a general shot. The frame number picture is unclear but looks like 3533 which makes it from the same contract as mine C5247 1939/40 (panel tank). The engine fitted is a G3L from 1942.

Thanks Ron for helping me out here. Not yet an expert on posting pictures. With the picture you posted and your comments on engine and framenr, I assume that will do for those who want to react, which I'm looking forward to.

@ John, it might be possible that Fergus contacts you with more details as I pm'd him yesterday too on the bike. Looking forward your feedback too.

Yes, Ron, I forwarded the photos to John. The frame number is 3823 and as Ron says, the engine is stamped 41G3L........but is the top end from a G3 as it has the G3 exhaust extension/collar? Seems to have a 6" headlamp and pannier frames have been added. I noted to Steven to be aware of these deviations from originality and use to negotiate price if he wants it.

Likewise Ferg.

Hi Steven,

Pleased that your opted to become a G3 owner. I have a 1940 G3 so if I can assist with close up photos or anything just let me know.

Gents,

thank you all for your support and valuable feedback, very much appreciated! I'll probably visit the seller on Monday, hopefully we can come to an agreement...

To John, would you be kind enough to provide me your feedback too (based on the info Fergus provided you)?

To Pete, I'll PM you in a minute with detailed pics, looking forward your opinion too.

BR,
