Royal Enfield  are a well established and long time manufacturer of motorcycles. In fact, they have the oldest model still in production. They used to be English, but are now based in India, and they produce some of world's best classic motorcycles.
They're not known for making fast motorcycles, you known... sportsbikes. They make classic, or shall I say vintage motorcycles that you can ride in the countryside, taking your time, enjoying the ride and views.
It's therefore a surprise to see a sportscar using a Royal Enfield engine. But it's true. This is the Berkeley B-95 LHD (Left Hand Drive). The car was built in 1959, and they only made 12 LHD units, 3 survived.
The engine is a modified Royal Enfield 750cc engine. The interesting thing is that the car weighs only 850 lbs (aluminium frame, fibreglass body), so should get some interesting performance (none are being disclosed).
The car is being sold for US$38,000 and is available in California.
