Royal Enfield will swing back to the 1960s at the Goodwood Revival (11-13 September) with two retro-themed marquees.Â
An authentic Royal Enfield 1960s dealership has been designed to help those at Goodwood relive a golden era for British motorcycling. The marquee will include themed artwork, product catalogues, signage and a fully equipped service bay where a live revival of a 1949 350cc Model G will take place over the course of the three-day festival.Â
Former Enfield engineer, 81-year-old Maurice Mumford, will be on hand to offer the Royal Enfield mechanics first-hand advice, having worked on the 1949 Model G at the Westwood plant in the1950s. Â
Royal Enfield CEO Siddhartha Lal will lead a London-to-Goodwood ride out, with Mumford also among the 20 riders travelling to the classic motor festival on Continental GTs. Members of the UK media will join guests from Australia, Indonesia, India and the USA also on today’s (Friday’s) ride.
Second World War despatch rider George Brown, 93, will be a guest of Enfield on Friday and fittingly, the new Despatch Rider clothing range will also be on display. The new range, inspired by military messengers of the World Wars such as George, includes a mix of riding gear, lifestyle accessories and apparel.
