Hello everyone, I am hopeing someone can kindly assist me with a few queries. I have an old Royal Enfiled frame and two engines which I was possibly hoping to get identified from engine / frame numbers. Thes ehave all been in storage in a garage.

The first Royal Enfield engine is only half there (bottom half) and carries the number G2 11996 can anyone identify this and supply deatils for the engine number?

The second Reoyal Enfield engine is more complete and carries a number 23724

The frame which is very dark green in colour and in reasonbaly good condition considering age, also has it's origianl front and rear mudguards and number plates, these too ae in very good condition consdiering age, i believe ths frame is froma Bullet, but may be wrong. The frame has a number stampe dinto it of 40077

I hope that some kind indivual(s) may be able to identify these three Royal Enfield pieces from the numbers. The model / cc and the years would be great idf atht is actually possible.

Thanks for any help and assistance on this.

Cheers,
R-H

If you have any photos we may be able to give you more accurate information.

Hello John M, thanks very much for getting back to me. I can get photos of the frame, tinwork, engines etc. although I have no way of hosting them for viewing. I can email you them if you wish once I take a few?

Thanks again,

hi guys---------- I use tinypics which is free and no subscription

The two engines are early 50's 350 Bullets, not sure about the frame. Take a rubbing or digital photo of them all and send them to the REOC.

Bullitt,join the REOC (you can do it on line and it's very cheap,) and you can get the actual Works Despatch information from the Club who keep the original registers. This also includes information about which Dealer took the bike originally and may include extra information such as colour (if to a special order,) and extra/different fittings (again if special). You will not get such accurate info anywhere else. The G2 number is early 350 Bullet as Chris says but the others I'm not so sure.

Hello everyone, thanks for all the replies and help on this, I havemnt managed to get photos sorted out but have found out more information on the previously supplied numbers. Just to update you all, I have managed to find out a bit more about all the pieces I have. I have discovered that the engine G2/11996 is from a Model G2 (350 Bullet) circa 1949, this is only the lower part of the engine, the crankcases and internals.

I have also found out that the frame 40077 / engine 23724 do actually belong together and that the motorcycle is a 350cc Royal Enfield Clipper from circa 1957. After further research, the colour of the paintwork on the frame and tinwork that I have is very like the one in this photo found via Google:

I will try to get photos sorted, but now I know what is what with the parts I have.

Just updating you all and thanks for your assistance.

Thanks,
