Royal Enfield's Continental GT has a good claim to be considered the ultimate post-war British pushrod 250. This very attractive example was acquired by its late owner in late 2015 and is believed to have been restored by a previous owner. It is supplied with a V5C registration document and a 2009 invoice from Royal Enfield specialists, Hitchcocks, for various gaskets, an oil filter element, and a new primary chain. Hagon rear shocks are fitted, and the wheel rims appear to be relatively recent replacements. The recorded mileage is 5723. A friend of the late owner recalls it last being ridden three or four years ago. After a period of inactivity re-commissioning will be required before further use. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition. Sold strictly as viewed.
