Model 160 V Twin CC 348
This rare Motosacoche powered Royal Enfield V twin, was purchased from the UK, and has a specifically wonderful history of its own, having been regularly ridden in Veteran events, specifically the Pioneer Run of 1958/59/60 and the Banbury Run and the VMCCs 4th TT Rally in 1959. The easter Parade in Battersea Park, and the VMCCs 6th Midland Region Motorcycle Cavalcade in 1961. Nicknamed "SLIM JIM" the Enfield was last used circa 1962 (a tax disc dated Feb 1963 is still attached).
Restored in the 1950s but now requiring full restoration again after 40 plus years out of use.
This bike is part of the NZ Classics Nelson Collection.
