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.
*Italjet
motorcycles were perhaps more famous for the Velocette Indian.
