Royal Enfield revived the Bullet name in 1948 for a sensational new 350cc sports roadster with swinging-arm rear suspension, an innovation at the time. Enfield's newcomer featured an overhead-valve engine that housed its dry-sump oil tank in a compartment in the crankcase's rear, to which the four-speed gearbox was rigidly bolted in a form of semi-unitary construction. A long running, highly successful and much-loved model, the Bullet could be had in road, trials, or scrambles versions, with equipment and gearing to suit the application, and there was even a racer in the mid-1950s.
Acquired by the elderly vendor at Bonhams 2018 Autumn Stafford Sale, the machine is sadly too heavy for him to lift or to ride . The machine has remained in his garage untouched ever since and is therefore surplus to requirement. Acquired by the previous owner in February 2016, this restored Bullet is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate and a selection of expired MoTs and a gov.uk Mot history print out.
