In 1921, Enfield developed a new 976 cc twin, and in 1924 launched the first Enfield four-stroke 350 cc single using a Prestwich Industries engine. In 1928, Royal Enfield began using the bulbous 'saddle' tanks and centre-spring girder front forks, one of the first companies to do so. Even though it was trading at a loss in the depression years of the 1930s, the company was able to rely on reserves to keep going. In 1931, Albert Eadie, one of the founders of the company, died and his partner R.W. Smith died soon afterwards in 1933.
This rare Royal Enfield Model K outfit has been together all their life. Restored to a high standard around 10 years ago. Still holding up well and used regularly since completion. The sidecar is a genuine Enfield supplied model. A truly handsome machine in this format. There is a great history file with an old logbook and sales catalogue of the day, sidecar catalogue, and much more to list. The Royal Enfield is all up and running and ready for its new owner, and comes complete with a current V5c
