Indian prototype 4 from the 50s influenced by British design.. Near the end of the real Indians..

 I believe it was called the Torque 4, may have been in the part collection, might be the only one.. Think the top end is like the Arrows..

yeah,and the Floyd Clymer scouts as well.The whole Indian brand has become somewhat of a joke as of late.

Here is what I have been thinking..

 I have lots of MC memorabilia, and only a small amount of it on display.. and I would like to give something back to this forum.

 So Let me run this by you;
 Perhaps we could either put the watercolour up for bids for a set time period, or do a raffle.. and the proceeds can go to the forum.

 Does that sound like a good idea?
