Royal Enfield spotted at Belton

It's a Royal Enfield motorcycle!
We saw this at Belton House - the same place that had a vintage car event last year.

The Royal Enfield Cycle Company made motorcycles, bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines from 1893-1971. Because the Royal Enfield motorcycle in this image was made before 1995 I can assume that it was made by the original Royal Enfield Co. and not its successor Enfield of India, who only bought rights to the Royal Enfield name at that time.
