I see that it's a commercial motor. I have a 1930 Left Hand package truck chassis to go with it. If you end up selling in over there please let the buyer know. I guess someone here in the USA could use a LH package truck chassis to make a period postal delivery vehicle.

Dear Mark, it's not a commercial motor as that engine number would start 30VC. The C at the end of the engine number shows it was fitted with iron pistons, replacing the first-1930 magnesium pistons which were found too noisy. It is a typical 1930 export bike, standard (low) compression heads, iron pistons, but still with the stock manifold and cams and 1 1/4 inch carburettor. The VC commercial models have their performance severely impaired with low lift cams, smaller cylinder inlet nipples and manifold, and a one inch carb.

Thanks for the schooling. I should have caught that mistake.
BTW: know anyone who needs a 1930 LH package truck chassis? How about LH JD sidecar frames? One 1923 and two 1924-27 style.
