It has to be a Wessex, so it's a 1968 bike. The suffix letter on the US models tends to vary depending on the specification requested by the importer (usually by that time Nick Nicholson Motors).
Let's think: it has lights, so how about "E" for Enduro?
Tammy might know, she has two and one of those has lights.Colin Sparrow

Nice BIKE!! Not too bad shape either!
Grizzy my American Specification Wessex with 24TJC183, we found her in the state of Wyoming, Casper. We got her along with the Ranger, obviously they had been out in the WY weather many years! The guy swore they were his uncles. His uncle had done some painting for a gentleman that had the 2 bikes. His uncle took the bikes in lieu of cash payment for the job. That guy had gotten both the bikes from a dealership in Casper, WY. But NO PROOF at all! She had head light, tail light with brake light and speedo, also insane 72 tooth solid rear sprocket!
The Brittish Specification Bike is 24TJ219. We got her with a Pathfinder out of British Columbia. We got a ton of paperwork including a brochure that listed the British and American Specification Wessex's and all the technical data for both...only differences were the tank size and the air filters.
That's all I know
We often wondered if the c wasn't for CA??
The brochure didn't mention lights, but as has been said the options were many
Our Eleanor, the MCS had a speedo...got the blown up version of the add that states on the Scramblers or the Specials you could get mufflers and or speedo
GREAT FIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never heard of an "E" in the frame either?Last edited by tammyanddaveky; 12/11/2013, 10:51 PM.
