Royal Enfield developed a new machine for the 1965 market, the 250cc "Continental GT" based on existing mechanicals. Prior to the 1964 Earls Court UK national motorcycle exhibition in November, the factory arranged a long-distance run to demonstrate the reliability of the machine from John O' Groats in the north of Scotland to Land's End in Cornwall. With five road riders, pre-arranged fuel stops and factory mechanical back up, the route was covered in 22 hours 20 minutes.
This little Royal Enfield Continental GT was restored a while ago. Coming from a private collection of machines, it is not currently UK registered and registration will need to be applied for. Some light recommissioning will be required before use. It comes complete with an Isle of Man registration and handbooks.
