The policy of including as standard all the performance-orientated 'extras' that customers might want to fit later (pioneered on the Continental) was an enormous success, and this concept was extended further by the Crusader's ultimate development - the Continental GT - which arrived in November 1964. For his £270 the GT owner got clip-on 'bars, rear-set footrests, racing-style glassfibre tank, and 'bacon slicer' brake cooling discs up front, in addition to an extra 1.5bhp. With its café racer styling, brisk performance and excellent handling, the GT was every young motorcyclist's dream and a well-deserved success for Royal Enfield. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, this Continental GT comes with its purchase receipt (1987), photocopy V5 document, and an old-style V5C Registration Certificate.
