It might be noticed that the then leader 692 cc Constellation had the VA motor prefix(on the US send out model) and "X" was added to indicate that Interceptor had an exploratory motor.

An aggregate of 158 692 cc Interceptors were made according to the Redditch industrial facility dispatch records held by the Royal Enfield Owners Club in the UK. These machines ought to have been stamped with the VAX prefixed motor numbers. The greatest conceivable amount of 692 cc VAX Interceptors is 170.[1] The principal bicycles left the industrial facility in December 1959, and the last ones were dispatched in July 1961.
