Photos have requested, I'm waiting, the minute I have them I shall post here, let's see if we can solve this misery bike or bunch of scrap pieces... :)

Oh dear, please forgive, I did say I was new and that the only "shape" of engine / crank I found was that, referring and meaning I was in a dead end, sorry for the offence.

Ok, I rectify, closest looking thing, chassis fixture and engine shape, I'm not in any way saying that my original post is a Norton, it's only most resembling shape I could find.

Thank you guys for your feedback, have spent several hours already on Google images searching for 20s 30s 40s engines and bikes I have seen many similarities but nothing exact yet, no match, but I haven't given up just yet.

The engine below is from a Norton 1936 International M40 350 cc ohc, it's not an exact match but close.

Hi to all,

Thank you mini-me, Rex & john.k for the advice, you are right about not investing in a dead end project, I'm not really afraid of the restoration process, in fact it's something me and my old man are good at, when I said I'm new to the classic bikes I meant the 1930s ones, as I know that rarity means no pieces available and this would be my headache, I'm informed that there are a couple pieces missing on the engine of this bike, this is the reason I'm looking for the exact make and model to do some research and see how rare this bike is, I would love to sand blast it and do the work to bring it up to good state but if it's a rare bike with no pieces available it will be a no no for me, hence why I'm asking around, I have other people of facebook saying that it's not a RE but they are not able to say what it is either... I think I will have to give a pass on this after all.

Here are some pictures of a Guzzi Airone 250 that me and Dad just finished (It was a garage find in Milan and it was complete except for some rubbers that I ordered in Italy):

Thank you all for your feedback, it's much appreciated :)

Hi mini-me,

Thanks for pointing out the fake, I'm a bit new in the classic bikes world, I was wondering myself if it was a RE at all, I'm being told this by the person selling it, if not a RE what the heck is it?

I'm not paying much to be honest but I'm not looking for a headache bike restoration project that's going to be very hard to find bits for, that's why I'm after the exact model or Make and Model.

Thanks iansoady & TGR90B,

I'm thinking it could be a Flying Flea (first image) but I see a small difference in the chassis shape between both, I'm also thinking it looks like the 1937 225cc (two stroke) (second image), however seller says that it's a 4 stroke engine, just wondering if there has been a modification of some kind.

A bit difficult with the images they have provided, I have requested more images to the seller.

Thanks again.

First of all Hello, my name is Oliver and thank you for accepting me to this forum, I'm looking for some info regarding this Royal Enfield I would like to purchase and restore, however I'm not sure of the exact model, I'm having trouble matching that engine shape to other RE online, can anyone help me identify this? Any help much appreciated.
