Hi Charles,
I wouldn't call it "super rare", but merely an early Interceptor with a lot of wrong parts stuck to it. The seat and forks also point that way. The brakes would be off a Constellation and the top yoke from a much earlier model. The tank is Constellation, or British Interceptor.

All in all a "bitsa" with a lot of potential, but nothing original.
Andreas

Actually its an Interceptor.

"UK Royal Enfield Owners Club chairman here.
This machine is a 750 Interceptor Mk.1 that would have been manufactured in 1964. It is however one of many not recorded in the factory ledgers owned by the Club, so you have just filled in a blank space thank you...
Never seen an Interceptor with single speedo top yoke but it would be correct if the bike was originally supplied with the Airflow fairing.
Mudguards, seat and silencers not RE.
Graham Scarth"

However there were around 35 Super Constellations made, a Club member has one here in Oz, great looking machine.
