Hi guys----------MAICOMIKE16, I apologize to you in advance but I'm now CONFUSED.COM !!....... Since your first posting have you actually bought the bike ??.... If that's a YES then didn't the "---- no Engine No. and NOT REGISTERED " ring any alarms for you ??............OK, no good crying over spilt milk as they say.......So now we're into a "Damage Limitation" scenario and at this stage I'm going to be brutally honest and suggest that you mentally prepare yourself for the worst case situation and that is }--- it's a FAKE !!............Given it's a "specialist" type of bike and thus the limited numbers that would have been produced, then chances are that the history of each is known about ( Usually by the Owners Club etc).......A good case in point is the Honda CB750 SANDCAST models.....Alas a verbal history ( Old man owner, standing for 22 years etc. ) is no provenance at all and counts for nothing..What's needed is DOCUMENTED proof--- and that's where a trusted, proven source such as those mentioned on here, is much preferred along with PHOTOS and a review by the Enfield Owners Club............I sincerely hope you have chanced-on the genuine article but my "Buying antenna" tells me otherwise..........PS}---How did you get to know about this bike in the first place and... Am I right in guessing you to be PRE-40 years old rather than POST-40 ??
