1952 Royal Enfield J2 500ccReg. no. LFO 267Frame no. 2584Engine no. 2584 (see note below)In 1948 the twin port 500cc J2 came onto the market and was an instant hit as a sidecar machine. Initially it was destined solely for the export market, but after receiving an order for hundreds of the J2s from the Milk Marketing Board, it was decided to drop the J model and release the J2 for the UK market. This J2 was totally restored in 2007/08 to a very high standard and is an excellent example of this rare-to-the-market twin port Royal Enfield. The engine has had further engine upgrades since the restoration including needle roller big-end bearings and electronic ignition. The owner says the bike starts and runs very well and is a lovely bike to ride. Note: It should be noted that the engine number in the logbook is 2584 which differs from the engine stampings.Comes with – a current V5C, over £1,500 worth of receipts for ancillary restoration parts alone and some photographs.
