The first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901 by the Enfield Cycle Company of Redditch having previously manufactured bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines. Under various ownership, the brand has continued through to the present day making it one of the longest-lasting names in the two-wheeled world. Initially just called Enfield, in 1911 they added Royal to the company name and in the early years of the last century were one of the more popular bikes available. The Bullet holds the distinction of being the world's longest running production motorcycle having been built in various capacities from 1933 to the present day.
Part of an enthusiast private collection, according to the RE Owners Club this Royal Enfield left the factory as a 'Trials Bullet' on the 28th January 1955 with matching engine and frame numbers 35680. It was dispatched to E R Fisher Motors Ltd and first registered by them on the 1st February on its current registration number 304DMK. After passing through various hands it was discovered by the previous owner who carried out an in depth restoration, documented in a feature in the October 2007 issue of 'The Classic Motorcycle'. He decided to set the bike up for road use so fitted 19" rims with road tyres, a luggage rack and altered the gearing to suit whilst keeping the original Lucas competition mag. The bike has been stood now for a few years so will need recommissioning and comes supplied with lots of receipts, old MOTs, an original buff log book and a current V5C together with a copy of the magazine it is featured in.
