I'm probably wrong but is that not a parallel twin Triumph with an Indian tank ?

Thanks Bill. I'm not well up on Indians. It does look like a Triumph engine.

.... It does look like a Triumph engine.

• After WW II Indian tried to make its own version of a typical English twin (e.g. Triumph) and called it the Scout (in 1949). The engine was a parallel vertical twin (2 cyl.) OHV with British type gearbox and controls. The bike looks completely English except that for some reason the primary drive was on the right side instead of the left.
