Just got this shed find.
Royal Enfield Lightweight Sports made during the war (1939/45)
Most factories turned over to munitions manufacture then but RE made bikes for the war effort.
This is one of them.
Only it has had so little use it is amazing.
Entirely original down to pedals, brake blocks, and super paintwork.
Worth a look!?
All I have done to it is touch up the paint on the outer rear mudguard/fender and cleaned it.
Nothing else.
Has tyres showing little/no use but marked "War Grade".
Check the Brooks saddle!
And the decals:
The bike is just amazing for the year. Even the cat came over to check it out:
Made like a gun!
