My James ML has the short rear mudguard but no contract plate on it. I was wondering whether these bikes came along with a contract plate like our other WD bikes did and the one on mine has just gone AWOL.

I am sure that my original ML that I brought back from Normandy has one fitted. However the original markings are painted over it. Cheers John

Thanks John, I appreciate the feed back. May I know what exactly are those 'original markings' that are painted over the contract plate?

Cheers,
Hank
