Lot 47
A 1967 Royal Enfield Continental GT, registration number PEU 296F, frame number 72475, engine number GT17832, red. The Royal Enfield Continental GT is arguably one of the prettiest production motorcycles of its day. A true production café racer which was based on the commuter everyday Crusader. With the ever expanding threat on sales from the Japanese manufactures, Enfield embarked on an ambitious performance test to highlight the 250cc superiority. In the winter of '64 they took a standard GT and ran it non stop from John o'Groats to Lands End via Silverstone race circuit where John 'Moon Eyes' Cooper thrashed it around the track at an average 70. 29mph, with the whole end to end marathon taking 22 hours 20 minutes. Quite an achievement! This Continental GT has formed part of a private collection. Having seen little use of late being on display most of the time in the current ownership, this well presented GT would probably benefit from a shakedown and general check over before taking to the road. It will be offered for sale with a history file containing receipts, previous MOTs and instruction book. V5C, no MOT, tax exempt
£4000-4500 + 13. 2% Buyers premium (including 20% VAT)
