What is this, a British bike company taken over or given to India decades ago? Pete

I know they've been exporting them from India for some time as I knew a guy who had one in Jakarta about ten years ago.
I thought it was a restored one until he told me that they were still making them in India.

Thanks for that link. It doesn't specifically state it upon quick read, but I think that's the MC (and MC+ sidecar) the Brit forces used during WWII. Pete

Yes and believe it or not they are worse than the original RE's if you are to believe two of my mates in Oz who bought one (each).
