Although it sold in relatively small numbers compared to the more popular BSA and Triumph twins, Royal Enfield's Interceptor had a character all of its own and even today commands a loyal following.
A US market model, this Series II Interceptor has covered some 2,000 miles since the engine was rebuilt with re-sleeved cylinder barrels and standard-size Hepolite pistons. Other recent works include renewing the timing, primary, and final drive chains; fitting two new Amal Concentric carburettors; and fitting two new tyres. In addition, the electrics have been upgraded with a Boyer Bransden stator plate, transistor box, and voltage regulator, while other enhancements include a Bob Newby clutch, oil cooler, oil pressure gauge, and flashing indictors. Described by the private vendor as in generally good condition, though slightly smoky on the left cylinder, the machine is offered with sundry bills and a V5C document.
