Royal Enfield developed a new machine for the 1965 market, the 250cc Continental, 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, Cornwall. With five road riders, pre-arranged fuel stops and factory mechanical back up, the route was covered in 22 hours 20 minutes.
A recent shed clear out has discovered this Royal Enfield project. Believed to have had just 3 owners from new, and RF60 logbook is on file. This is a completely dismantled machine, as per the pictures. Sold as seen and with some old manuals.
