Royal Enfield's range for 1946 comprised three related models: G, J and C/CO. The G and J were of 350cc and 500cc respectively and used the same overhead-valve engine but of different bore sizes, while the CO used the G motor and the C likewise but with side, rather than overhead, valves. Models G and J had a new telescopic front fork whereas the C/CO retained the pre-war girders. All had cast-iron engine top-ends, plain big-end bearings, four-speed Albion gearboxes featuring Enfield's characteristic neutral selector lever, and rigid frames.
First registered as 'FRP 166', this Royal Enfield Model G was purchased by the current vendor in March 2008. He advised us that the machine ran then but has not run for circa 12 years. Re-commissioning will be required before it returns to the road. Accompanying documentation consists of an expired MoT (2000), an old-style V5C Registration Certificate, and an old-style buff continuation logbook issued in 1956. It should be noted that the engine number recorded in the logbook is '15658', indicating that there has been a swap at some time. An original instruction book and parts list are included in the sale.
