As Hitchcock says "I'm a Enfield nut, but not a fan"
They are very much a 1950 motorbike make in 1970.

Have SII Interceptors fallen so far in their classic value?
The tank looked a bit iffy though I must confess.

It would depend on condition of the engine and gearbox. If it is intact it is certainly worth it. I like they

The petrol tank may be modern Enfield but it has the shape of the domestic original and it may well
be possible to conjure up a decent fit.
