Royal Enfield Classic 500 in Scale 1:3

[keramh]

hello,

a two-year odyssey has now come to a happy end. My Enni model has finally arrived.

The transport box, measuring 41 x 87 x 60 cm and weighing 30.8 kg, was secured with straps and foil on a disposable pallet.

Inside it was a box measuring 32 x 77 x 48 cm and weighing 16.4 kg, additionally secured with foil and straps.

When the box was opened, a very nicely made card was included. 

Now to the inside of the box

The first look at the contents is promising and absolutely breathtaking

The packaging is tailored to the model down to the millimeter, a masterpiece of packaging technology.

Quickly on...

The model can now be lifted out of the box using the two wide Velcro straps.

Freed from the remaining protective measures, it is now in front of us.

Here are the technical data of the model again:

Brand: Royal Enfield

Type: Classic 500

Scale: 1:3

Weight: 8.5 kg

Length: 78 cm

Height: 38 cm

Width: 26.1 cm

Price: 1099.00 European

I have one drawback, there are no rear-view mirrors... the threads in the fittings aren't on any pictures online, and there are no rear-view mirrors to be seen in any videos, which is a shame.

As soon as I have time and the weather is right, I'll take more pictures, also next to mine in 1:1.

Wow...that is a beauty!

[Mark, The Master Modeller]

Very nice!!  I had no idea that was available!

I found out about it in 2022 and really wanted my motorcycle as a model.

Here are some pictures from the production.

Available in all colors that are also offered on the 1:1 motorcycle.

I will take another picture in front of, next to and on my 1:1 Enni.

But is it issued by Royal Enfield India?

[keramh]

Yes, but unfortunately a direct import was not possible.

I managed to get a model through my local dealer and then through RE Europe, KSR Group in Austria.

I don't think RE expected such a large global demand. They only wanted to sell it in India and were simply overwhelmed.

I think the Indians overlooked that there would be great marketing potential in the UK, particularly by past owners of the originals in the UK from way back.    Pure nostalgia for many, as well as new UK owners o the Indian built machines.
