The black & white picture comes from the February - March 1982 issue of The Classic MotorCycle. But it is not the bike that Wayne is looking for.

I have found the name of the owner of the bike in the colour photograph, Wayne has been informed. :slightly_smiling_face:

Well after a lot of searching, I’ve finally found my grandads old bike and not only that but today I have managed to buy it.

Thanks to Jan he had the details of a previous owner, but that trail went cold. Then out of the blue I received a message on Facebook, replying to a message I had sent Oct 2021, and the reply I received was from Brian, who not only owned the bike, but also was thinking of selling it. So we did a deal and I now own a 1940 Royal Enfield model C!!!



My sister and brother sat on the bike in the late 1980’s. I’m the boy stood at the back.

Nice story! Jan will know what to do with the funky rear rack and pillion seat, it looks a bit odd.

Cheers,

Well done Wayne! Glad to see you've got your old bike back. It was good talking to you at Welland.
I expect to see it on the military display next year. 😀
