Hello everyone, I recently found a scale 1 puzzle from a royal Enfield in very bad conditions but ...I think it's a live rendezvous....
Can anybody telling me informations about my rusty queen?
The engine number is 33614 same as the frame, on the front of the right Crankcase, next the oil cap is "co 2691 " stamp.
on the other side ,on the rear of the motor the number 588 is stamp on the the two crankcase.
On the gearbox, I find a "Had 489" number stamp .
There is a number stamp on the magdino but I can't read so far, I have to clean further...
I don't have all the parts from this puzzle but my journey begins soon, I think....I am in Belgium.
Thanks a lot for your answer and support, it's always a pleasure to see so passionate people who take time to help others whit a resurrection project...thanks again.
Pascal....

Yes, Jan will be along shortly, but that number indicates a postwar CO Enfield, best to take some pictures from all the numbers.

Cheers,

The last military WD/CO contract was S/3357. Enfield was still building this contract when the war was finally over in 1945. It was decided that the production had to stop after 1.500 of the contracted 5.000 bikes had been built. The remaining bikes were cancelled.

Enfield decided to build approximately 3.500 civilian "Model CO" bikes with the now obsolete parts for this contract. Nearly all these bikes were sold on the export market (it was the "export or die" period...).

Frame number 33614 was one of these bikes. It was despatched from the factory on October 8th 1946, destination "Breslau, Brussels". Breslau had been a Royal Enfield dealer since the pre war days:



These are factory pictures showing a brand new Model CO:




And these are two "Model CO" bikes with a Belgian post-war registration number. Your discovery may have been one of these:
