hi finroyal. as no one else has replied i will give my two cents worth. i believe it must be the model that came out before the 'k' or 'kx' model v-twin series which probably puts it between late '20s and mid 30s before the wet sump 'k' series came out. google kx royal enfield images and you can see the later v-twin pictures

Hi

As I mention this is year -23, but whichkind of frame it shoud have, 23 or newer 24 model, because I have -24 model under restoration and it have same sylinderbarrels but block is different and it have 3 speed Sturmey gearbox. In -23 it is possible to order special model with Vicker/Wolseley engine and with sturmey 3 speed gearbox. These models I allready know. But what that engine is? And what frame. Anybody might have pictures of that? ???
