I "think" it was a 350 Bullet, my local dealer was one of the first Indian Enfield dealers in the UK. I only had it for a day, it was the demo bike and I got it while my own was being serviced. My opinion was slightly tainted by the fact they didn't mention there was no fuel in it and I ran out It was a bit "agricultural", I'd imagine they're a bit more refined now. Didn't put me off "British" bikes, went on to own a 1972 750 Commando.
