Royal Enfield built a series of WD (War Department) motorcycles for the British war Office for WWII. The best known was the 125cc Flying Flea, though one of the bigger options was the 350cc WD/C in front of you today.
After war duty, this bike was turned into a civilian unit and was first registered for the road in 1947.
