The Royal Enfield Constellation is a classic British motorcycle that combines distinctive styling with impressive performance for its era. Powered by a 692cc parallel-twin engine, the Constellation was one of Royal Enfield's largest and most powerful road-going motorcycles. Its strong torque and characterful engine made it well suited to both fast touring and everyday riding. The 1962 model represents the final years of the Constellation's production, giving it a special place in Royal Enfield history. Its traditional design features a steel frame, chrome details, a comfortable dual seat and a large fuel tank, creating the unmistakable appearance of a classic British twin. The motorcycle's substantial size and lively performance also earned it a reputation as an exciting machine to ride.

Originally registered on 1st May 1962, this Royal Enfield presents well and is best described as a good, honest example. The buff logbook, together with the V5 registration document would appear to confirm this as being a low ownership motorcycle, with the bike remaining in the same family since 1984. Supplied with a collection of previous MoT test certificates and tax discs, this Royal Enfield still bears its original registration plate of 2132 MD. Surviving Constellations are highly regarded by classic motorcycle enthusiasts and collectors. A well-preserved example offers a fascinating glimpse into early-1960s British motorcycling, combining mechanical simplicity, period styling and the distinctive character of a large-capacity Royal Enfield.
