The Floyd Clymer Enfield Interceptor 750cc
To Next Model Rickman
| The Indian Enfield Interceptor Chassis was designed and built in Bologna by Leo Tartarini (Italjet Motorcycles*) and fitted with the Royal Enfield MKII Interceptor Engine. These were made especially for Floyd Clymer from USA, who was the owner of the Indian name. It is said that out of the 200 originally ordered engines only 15 bikes were made before Clymer died in January 1970 at the age of 74. The engines were then taken by the receivers and sold on to the Rickman Brothers. |  |
