Description
1964 Royal Enfield Turbo Twin Sport 250cc twin-port . Looks to have been fully restored as in very nice condition for its age. Comes with lots of older MOT's and previous log books. Looks to be all original. A rare and handsome early British 2 stroke and a great investment.
The Villiers 2T/4T proprietary engine enabled a host of manufacturers to offer a twin-cylinder two-stroke model in the all-important learner market during the 1960s, novice riders being restricted to machines under 250cc at the time. Royal Enfield’s offering used the later 4T engine, which featured a more angular top end incorporating cylinders with four transfer ports (the 2T had only two) and ported pistons. Otherwise the 4T remained much as its predecessor. Enfield fitted the Villiers twin into a Crusader frame, while the cycle parts were those of the Clipper model. Introduced in November 1963, the original Turbo Twin was replaced in 1964 by the Turbo Twin Sports, which featured a chromium plated fuel tank and mudguards. In this form the model remaining in production until late in 1966.
