Paperwork on file
By 1971, the Rickman brothers of Rickman Engineering in the U. K. had already established a reputation for constructing motorcycle chassis of incredible rigidity, enabling the highest performance engines of the day to be matched up with a chassis that allowed their full potential. One of Rickman’s special short production runs was for a group of bikes equipped with the Royal Enfield Mk II 750 cc Interceptor engine; the bike was known as the Rickman Enfield Interceptor. The extreme rarity of the Rickman Enfield 750 Interceptor by itself would be enough to make the bike a history-making motorcycle.
On offer is an extremely rare and very limited produced Rickman Enfield 750 Interceptor, it is believed to have been purchased new by the late owner in 1974 from Elite Motors of Tooting London. It has been confirmed that this is a genuine machine with a certificate of authenticity from Metisse Motorcycles LTD confirming it was sold by Elite Motors. It was carefully looked after by the late owner and was kept until it was taken off the road due to his age. The Rickman Interceptor comes complete with its bill of sale, Elite Motorcs paperwork, a certificate of newness from the Rickman Works dated 1972 various information with regards to Royal Enfield, and a current V5c. Some recommissioning will be required before placing it back on the road.
