In the early 1950s, the Indian government was looking for a motorcycle for its army to patrol the country's borders and the 350cc Royal Enfield Bullet was considered the most suitable. In 1954, India ordered 800 bikes from the Redditch factory and, in 1955, Royal Enfield partnered with Madras Motors to form Enfield India, thus enabling Bullets to be produced under licence in Madras, with tooling being sold to the new firm to enable them to manufacture their own components. By 1962, all major parts were being made in India. Following the demise of the English factory in 1971, the Royal Enfield name owes its survival to the continued popularity of the Indian-made Bullets.
Remarkably, this 1993 Bullet 350 displays just 36 miles on the clock, believed to be genuine. The late owner was a keen collector with several earlier Bullets to his name, and chose this example to represent a Bullet of the modern era. He never rode this machine, but cared for it by turning it over regularly. With a light patina concomitant with its age, this supremely original example comes with the current V5C and represents an excellent recommissioning opportunity.
