The 346cc Model G had formed part of the three machine line up announced in November 1945 when civilian production commenced once again at Redditch and would remain in the range until 1954 when it was effectively replaced by the 250cc Clipper. In 1946 a new model G would have cost £98 10s 0d plus purchase tax with the optional speedometer that was required by British law fitted. When "The Motor Cycle" tested an example of the G fitted with an optional large capacity fuel tank that had become available in 1947, they found it good for a maximum speed of 69 mph and a capability to cruise at a mile a minute without any problems. In 1948 Royal Enfield reduced their home market range with the larger J model being reserved for export markets leaving the G to cater for the needs of British riders.
This example was restored in the early 2000s to "show standard". It is said to be in "good" condition throughout and in recent years has been stored in a dry, heated garage.
