Nige

I last saw a red Indian of Nimbuwalla in a rally in Pune many years ago. No idea of the current status, or the fact that he had one more.

I should have been more clear. There were two Indians owned by two nimbuwalla's one was red the second was white I think. I am not sure if the Nimbuwalla's were brothers or cousins or neither.

Here is an interesting factory illustration of a 3 wheeled Bullet - I assume created to cater to the phat-phatiya market in Delhi. Any idea if these were actually factory produced?

There were a lots of them in the 60's and 70's. They were delivery vans. I assume that they were made by the factory.

This is a news for me, I saw a lot of Phatphati when they were ijn exestence, but all of them seemed to be of made out of BSA's or HD's

I believe this phatphati's should be saved for posterity measures, also a lambretta is seen next to it.

Here are a couple of gems from a 2006 event in Pune, both apparently from Hyderabad. Wasif, do you remember them?

An Indian, though apparently not a Chief.

A Dominator 650SS, top of the line. A very handsome and capable machine.

The Indian I have never seen before but that Dommie looks pretty familiar.

BTW my dada had an identical Dommie with an APY reg that has been lost probably forever.

There was factory Enfield trike, it was a joint
production with another company. Enfield trike had a reverse gear, too. In the USA and Canada, they were sold as the Indian Patrol Car.
