1936 marked a year of transition for the Royal Enfield model range, with the range moving to vertical cylinders in favour of the inclined layout that had been fashionable at the start of the decade. The first models to display the new layout were the touring Model J (500) and G (350) overhead valve machines; a pair of competition variants soon joined these with upswept silencers and lighter mudguards offering greater clearance. For the 1937 season the range was further expanded with the arrival of the tuned, de luxe, G2 and J2 variants.
This remarkably original example has been housed in a private collection and is described by the vendor as being in good, original condition in all respects. Interestingly it is fitted with a car speedometer, a modification made by a previous owner, which, although easily rectified, would perhaps be better left.
