STEVE G, You are of course correct, and I chose the RO 80 because of the post you mentioned, there are loads of rotary engine vehicles. The clutch was a strange arrangement it had sort of 2 clutch devices, and depressing the gear stick disengaged the clutch. Regarding the cryptic clue, all the engin...

No, the Reliant Scimitar was a British built fibreglass bodied car, you're getting cooler.

No, but you're in the right continent, there's a cryptic clue worthy of Sherlock Holmes. in the description in the original post

I can see where you are coming from, but it isn't a fulvia

Looks like a 1930's Jaguar SS to me, being a huge Jag fan I would have loved to have owned one, but sadly never have.

Mine was a 197cc Villiers 9E engined SUN motorcycle (with a bent frame) Happy Days, Scary corners.

I used to own on...

Challenge 2
I'm around 95% sure the bike is a James ML125 from the late 30's early 40's, the ML indicates a military model which would fit in well with it being (apparently) in India.

That struck me as a bit odd too, if I see any more HH specific news items in the PTY press I'll pop them on here.
