I didn't ask where they were stamped, as I had to think of a plausible way to get the numbers without arising suspicion.

[Chris Tindal]

It's all speculation until someone sees the frame and engine numbers and can verify they are original 1965 stampings (which in theory at least they could be)

[Bullet Whisperer]

Here is a more convincing 'old' Bullet, this looks like an old Indian frame to me, with an Indian engine with old Lucas magneto in place of the distributor and the double sided front brake. Certainly an interesting one, whether genuine or not.

Interesting bitsa, not that there's anything wrong with bitsas as long as no one pretends anything. It looks to have a Redditch tank and front brake and after marked mudguards, quite different from the original 77 bike. In our REOC local branch we have a 1964 Indian bullet (Tollgate 450), not a phoney, a 1951 framed diesel bullet with Indian cycle parts, and a 1953 framed 500 with a mix of Indian and Redditch bits!

Chris, Paul, that's more like it! A nice mix of Redditch and Indian parts with all the mods aimed at making a good useable road bike. Looks like a Redditch Clipper tank, Lucas SR1 magneto (excellent,) Redditch double side front brake, probably really effective on a 350, Monobloc carb, Smiths magnetic speedo (sadly broken), altogether a well put together special and most important not pretending to be something it ain't!

Anybody got an idea what date G2/61447 points to?

"Anybody got an idea what date G2/61447 points to? " , just about every 1965 enfield that has been exported from india in the last 10 yrs

You think this one is bad, one has just turned up for sale out here claimed to be a 1966 rebuilt from the frame up. 5 speed, disc brake, electric start and the clown wants $8000 for it, hope nobody falls for this one

[Scalyback]

Well, I can only assume that the seller has had a few emails by now, and has only amended, not pulled the ad.








I guess it would not be wise to buy from this seller.
