The Appeal
Opportunities like this do not come along often. Here is a classic Indian-built Royal Enfield Bullet 350 that is as close to a brand new example as you are likely to find, decades-on from when the last ones left the factory.
It is recorded as a ‘new old stock’ Bullet 350 and has just 26 miles on the clock. DVLA records state that it is a 1976 example but chassis numbers suggest it was actually built in 1972. Either way, it is in highly preserved condition and supplied with an equally appealing Kozi sidecar in similar order.
This is a collector-quality bike and a timely reminder of just why the Bullet survived for so long. It is handsome and beautifully detailed in black with gold trim and smart Royal Enfield decals.
With its fascinating story and condition and tiny usage, this bike would grace any collection and is a future show star.
