- Part of a private British motorcycle collection for many years
- Self-evidently the subject of a past restoration
- Rare and unusual Vintage machine
Introduced for 1924, the Model 201A was in Royal Enfield’s own words: ‘designed and built for the lady or gentleman who prefers not to wear special clothing when motor cycling. It has a unique frame with circular tank. A dressguard extends rearwards from the tank to protect the rider's clothes’. Sharing the same 2¼hp two-stroke engine and two-speed transmission as its Model 201 sibling, the ‘step through’ machine remained in production for several years. Although, survivors are comparatively scarce today.
Entered from a deceased estate, this charming Royal Enfield formed part of the late vendor’s collection of rare and unusual British motorcycles for many years. Self-evidently the subject of a past restoration, the Model 201A appears to be substantially complete but will require recommissioning prior to any use. Offered for sale without reserve or paperwork, a new owner could apply to the DVLA for an age-related number plate should they so wish.
