Enfield Factory
The original Bullet remains in production today at the Enfield Factory, 17km outside of Chennai. Half-hour tours (Rs600) run on Saturdays at 10.30am. Enfield’s legendary motorbikes, designed in 1955 but manufactured just last week, truly give meaning to the term ‘modern-day classic’.
