@enfield_trials pleased you liked the photo's, the red marking on the tank is a marker pen..please ignore lol…My Dad had the bike for only 2 or 3 years..he has MANY bikes in his time and restored loads..if we find the bike and it needs restoring, my Dad would love to do it!..and yes, I would love it as either mine or my husband to ride my husband already has a bike.

@ Exile thank you so much for putting the photo's up for me…your a star!..I have tried and failed miserably after following your thread on how to do it from photo bucket..html code I copy and then paste, but no photo..Thank you again

@John M I only hope that someone may know it..my Dad would love the challenge to restore to its former glory…here's hoping!

Totally forgot to mention that the bike is a 1959 and so was the Honeymoon year!

Well I am up for a ride down from Solihull (very conveniently just 5 miles from our host's office) to Devon sometime in August. Come on, chaps, anyone else willing to help make Jo's Dad's day with a Royal Enfield gathering?

@dean6553 what a lovely kind gesture to make! thank you so much….

I have a frame number 43224 and engine number 17441..I will be writing to DVLA, fingers crossed!

Jo, I just checked my engine and frame numbers and although my bike was produced October 1959, very close to your Dad's I would guess, the numbers are not all that close. (I won't put them here for security but I can email you them if you're that interested!) The reason I mention this is because we know that not all that many WRs were made, probably about 180 so you'd expect the numbers to be closer together. Unless anyone knows different? Finally, whereabouts in Devon is your Dad, it might be a long ride on a Trials bike!

REgards, Mark

Hello Jo,
What part of Devon does your Dad live in? I am now planning to ride down to see my own Dad, who happens to live in Paignton, sometime in July/ August, and could combine the two.
