This is an Interceptor 750 Road Scrambler TT7 with dispatch from Westwood (Bradford on Avon) underground factory."The Series 1A Interceptor was introduced in 1967 with two sub models GP7 and TT7.

In answer to a question about Interceptor production numbers, y research shows that only 760 Interceptor Mk1A's were manufactured (thanks Mark!) of which this Interceptor is number 414. The Mk2 production figure was very roughly twice that, ot counting approximately 200 left over motors when production ceased in 1970. Most of these went into Rickman production(google Floyd Clymer).I think 137 or so Rickmans were made with Interceptor Mk 2 motors. Compared to the vastly more numerous Triumph, orton and BSA's, nterceptors are very rare motorcycles, nown for their robust construction and excellent performance. FYI, he complete Royal Enfield archives are now owned by Hitchcocksmotorcycles, ncluding complete dispatch records.
