This is the 8hp model, 85.5x85mm 976cc four stroke side-valve V-twin with mechanical lubrication, Amac carb, chain-driven mag, 2-speed gearbox, clutch and hand starter, all-chain drive, which in 1923 was quite a thing. Originally sold with a sidecar but this one has been a solo for most of its life and still is. Will need recommissioning (we can do it or you can) after a few years in the garage. Shown here with a later registration but now registered on the original as shown in the old log book. Comes from a good home, long term responsible ownership and maintenance before being retired to the garage. Matching numbers too. This is what they said about it at the 1922 London Olympia Show…

Unstinted admiration is accorded by all observers, critical and otherwise, to the models displayed on the Enfield stand, especially to the 976cc twin cylinder sidecar outfit. The engine of this deservedly popular machine is made specially for it by Vickers Ltd., and well-known Enfield system of two-speed gear, obtained by means of selective cone clutches and two chains from the engine to the countershaft, has now been before the public for many years and has proved itself very thoroughly in practice. A feature of these machines differentiating them from most others is the hand-starting through the countershaft. A Terry spring seat is now fitted on large coil springs mounted on the carrier. A ratchet lock for the foot brake is also fitted. Such features as the silencer and mudguards are of ample dimensions and admirably carried out. The foot-boards, which are large and comfortable, are rubber studded; and special guards are provided for the protection of legs and feet.
