Description

So here we have one of my prized bikes, I have owned her for around 15 years and already regret not having this machine in my life but needs must. The original parts of this bike are the motor, transmission, frame and swing arm, these are believed to be very rare indeed with the alloy cylinder and cast/ brazed frame, removable rear subframe. these are believed to be genuine factory items used during the 1954 royal enfield scrambles campaign. with the possibility that it was ridden by Johnny Brittain, there is large amounts of paper work with this bike, its free of mot and tax and is fully road legal. this machine demonstrates the true nature of mechanics, no 12 or 6v power requirements simply a magneto, a true testament to the harmonious mechanical movement of engineered steel in order to create fire, nothing digital. the only paint on this bike it the number on the speedo and number plate.
Its a joy to ride and more so to just look at. if your serious about owning something really different that you can actually start and ride this might just be it, any inspection welcome and more than happy to chew the fat about this bike.
