Hi Ian,as far as I know the WD/CO sectioned bike was for sale on milweb? about two years ago for I think £10,000 or offers?,it may have been on sale in either Spain or Portugal.

It was for sale in Portugal. The Portugese Army has had some WD/COs after the war. Must have been one of these, sectioned for training purposes.

Not WD, but this was nice..and pricey.

Norton related parts/engines etc. of this period and later are often at a premium compared to other makes...I guess it's the price to be paid for the hype, which has endured over time...:relaxed: .....Ian

The good thing is Tim, you could swap your worn out parts and still have a nice cutaway engine for display :-)

Very true Horror. i missed that one. Luckily my parts arn't worn out yet but not as good as the ones in that engine. I doubt it sold to be used as a display engine again, not with those bits in anyway.
