Royal Enfield Interceptor MK2

To Next Model, MKIII 800
  

“When Royal Enfield production ceased at the famous Redditch works was switched entirely to the underground factory at Bradford-on-Avon, output was largely concentrated on the Big Interceptor Twin. Last year, with the redesigned crankcase assembly embodying car-type, wet-sump lubrication, it became the Series II Interceptor. The label is the same for 1970, but the machine in it’s latest form has a number of additional refinements”
