1969 Royal Enfield 736cc Interceptor Series II
Registration no. DVG 774G
Frame no. F1443
Engine no. IB1443

This Royal Enfield Interceptor MkII was offered as 1st Prize in the National Motorcycle Museum's summer 2018 raffle. The machine benefits from a 'last nut and bolt' restoration by the National Motorcycle Museum team with no expense spared. Works carried out included a full engine rebuild, while every component was renovated and only replaced if absolutely necessary to preserve the originality of this matching-numbers machine. The only deviation from standard specification is a Boyer Bransden electronic ignition system making the Enfield a first-kick starter (original points system included). Desirable OEM factory extras fitted include an oil cooler, sump guard, grab rail, and twin-leading-shoe front brake. Only 160 miles have been covered since the Interceptor was presented to the winner in late 2018, and the bike still requires running in. 'DVG 774G' comes with a substantial history file including a National Motorcycle Museum certificate of provenance; photographs of the restoration in progress; an original workshop manual; and a 1969 brochure. Said by the vendor to be one of the best examples of a MkII Interceptor in the world, the machine is offered with a hallmarked solid silver plaque mounted on the rear mudguard: 'Supplied and restored by the National Motorcycle Museum'.
