The first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901 by the Enfield Cycle Company of Redditch, which had previously manufactured bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines. Under various ownership, the marque has continued through to the present day, making it one of the longest-lasting names in the two-wheeled world. Initially just called Enfields, the bikes soon became Royal Enfields and were among the most popular machines of the early 20th century. 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.

This 1941 Royal Enfield has been dated as 1941 by the VMCC and it is believed that it may have seen service at some point in its early life. The Royal Enfield has had a restoration, and in its time with the late vendor was used on some film sets as a ‘background vehicle’. Purchased ‘as is’ in 2007 to form part of his collection of military machines, it has not been used in recent years and may require some light recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C and a dating certificate from the VMCC.
