The first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901 by the Enfield Cycle Company of Redditch, having previously manufactured bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines. Under various ownership, the name has continued through to the present day, making it one of the longest-lasting names in the two-wheeled world. The 700cc Constellation was one of the last British-made models produced in the Redditch factory before its eventual closure in the mid-1960s.
This 1958 Royal Enfield Constellation has come from a deceased estate, restoration was underway, however, the late vendor sadly passed away before it was completed. it appears that the engine may have been rebuilt and some paint work carried out. It is not known how far the restoration has been taken, so it is offered strictly as viewed. A very worthwhile project to complete over the winter months. It is offered with a V5C and some handbooks.
