Another M20 on e-Bay

Looks mostly complete, too much chrome (must have been "restored" in India at some point. No rear racks , interesting mod on the footpegs for off-roading perhaps? No ties to the seller, FYI only.

Re: Another M20 on e-Bay

Yep...It looks as if it's come from the Middle East or India...Other warning signs to look out for on these bikes, apart from too much chrome, are unusual style horns, rear lights and polished crankcases and other alloy castings...'Approach with extreme caution'!!!Ian

Re: Another M20 on e-Bay

I don't understand "come from the Middle East or India" surely there not exporting complete faked bikes now!!

Re: Another M20 on e-Bay

all over Asia are to be found ex WD bikes left behind by the army at various times.

They have been kept going by some ingenious methods and improvisations which often come as a shock the novice buyer, an expensive shock.
What looks like M20/G3L/16H on the outside is often anything but inside.

Thanks to the wonder of the WWW they have cottoned on to the daft prices fetched by bikes that once could not be given away.

Their idea of restoration/originality is not ours.

A good few opportunist dealers that don't know one end of a bike from the other are also in on the act.

If this seller bought from the UK he was truly well done.

I just love the wiring harness
