Sure was, Ewan. My other half commented on 'a nice green Bentley' as it passed us and although I didn't have a chance to clock the driver I wondered if it was you. Shaftesbury is one of our regular coffee stops.

Made in India.

DVLA has it as a 2018 'Royal Enfield Bullet Classic EFI E4'. I like bikes but know naff all about them, and just thought it was a nice piece of retro.
