1961 ROYAL ENFIELD CONSTELLATION 700 - Lot 64

1961 ROYAL ENFIELD CONSTELLATION 700 N° 10379 Collector's registration 5 000 / 7 000 € Launched in April 1958 as the sporty version of the 700 Meteor, the "Connie" produced 51 hp and reached a top speed of 177 km/h in those less restrictive times. The Constellation has a fascinating history, having been assembled by hand in the underground factory at Westwood in Wiltshire, the factory having been used during the Second World War to produce equipment for the British army. The Constellation continued to be produced at Westwood until it was shut down in 1970. We're delighted to be able to offer this beautiful "Connie" today, and she'll make a superb display or driving machine, with a little recommissioning required before use. We cannot guarantee that it will run smoothly, so some re-commissioning may be required.
