Engine no. 2382658W
The Model 180 8hp Royal Enfield 976cc V twin was famous for being a strong, powerful motorcycle, easily capable of taking on the extra weight of a sidecar and was favoured by companies that wanted a ‘Trade Box’ sidecar. The engine was designed and built by Vickers and the transmission was all chain drive via selective two speed clutches. First registered on the 11th April 1922 this is a wonderful oily rag survivor that has never been restored, it starts and runs and there are a couple of videos of this bike on ‘You Tube’ being started and ridden. It has been ridden and used at many VMCC events and even won prizes for most original bike. To find a 100-year-old bike in this unrestored working condition is very rare, it is a true survivor.
Comes with – a current V5C, an old V5C, an old V5 and a buff logbook. Also, tax discs going back to 1932, an original insurance document from 1932 and a large selection of old MOTs. Several other documents of interest and an original period Royal Enfield combination booklet.
Estimate: £17, 500 – 20, 000
