Rudge motorcycles were produced from 1911 to 1946. The firm was known for its innovations in engine and transmission design, and its racing successes. The first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901. Under various ownership, the name has continued through to the present day making it one of the longest-running names in the two-wheeled world. In the UK, kidney-shaped grass-track circuits were sometimes used to include a right hand bend, and undulating hillsides were also used to increase the challenge for riders. The events traditionally occurred after haymaking and before harvesting season on newly-cut fields
Offered to auction, this Rudge/Royal Enfield is a competition machine that was built-up from components from both makers post WW2. The contributing machines were a Rudge Python 350cc fully-radial engine and a Royal Enfield 350cc SV donating the frame. The latter was originally a military model WD/C built under contract C/7182 on the 16th May, 1940. There is no documentation with this lot.
