These M20's were bought to perform in the Dutch musical Soldier of Orange. They proved to be very unreliable to start by the actors riding them. So they converted them to take a Honda engine and camouflaged the engines by sticking the tappet cover of the M20 on to the cylinder. So now they are reliable to start but no longer M20's. But Mr. Joe Public won't notice and he will feel that original WD bikes are being used in this musical.
