CC on crankcase makes that part 1937 but top end is enclosed, so there you go....

Well, it does have a pair of new exhaust pipes and silencers

That petrol tank doesn't seem to have the badge mounting strip but it's clearly not a WD one - is that right for pre-war?

Could be immediate post war tank. I saw a VH and a 4G with similar lack of badge bar in Germany recently, both were 1946 machines

and a new font rim and tyre it is nearly rebuilt

Teardrop primary as well,'38 on...

On the other hand, if the engine, frame and gearbox are matching and genuine belong to each other it’s a good start for nice 1937 VH. Yes it’s quite some money. Enclosed valves are wrong for that vintage, but very practical…
