1954 Royal Enfield Model G, 350cc. Registration number JVY 308. Frame number G31679. Engine number G31679.
The Redditch factory's Model G was available from 1946 onwards -competitively priced at £93 plus Purchase Tax - aimed unashamedly at a price sensitive market. Supplemented by its 500cc Model J sibling this unfussy pair of dependable ride-to-work machines were denied the spring frame and alloy 'head/cylinder of the more sporting Bullet range, yet were listed by Royal Enfield for many years, selling steadily to a loyal customer base.
The G and J Models had a new telescopic front forks, cast-iron engine top-ends, plain big-end bearings, four-speed Albion gearboxes featuring Enfield's characteristic neutral selector lever, and rigid frames.
The vendor has misplaced the paperwork for JVY but according to DVLA it was last taxed in 2018 and appears to be an older restoration that should require only a light recommissioning before use.
