After opening a new Royal Enfield store at Mitcham, Surrey, last year, RE’s CEO Siddhartha Lal (left) attended the Goodwood Revival meeting where an authentic 1960s RE dealership was housed in a marquee. Maurice Mumford (right) who worked at RE’s Westwood plant in the 1950s, was there to offer advice as mechanics fettled a 1949 Model G in front of the crowds.
