Is the one on the right a beaten up original, or Indian too? Certainly looks a lot closer shape wise.

That one is truly horrendous, worst I've seen, and that's saying something......

The scallop on just the one side is superb!
Made from pic myth is 'plausible'...

Reminds of of Michelotti's comment on the TR7 on the stand at the motorshow in the 70s. He had been tasked to field a design for the project and his didnt make the cut as BL/Triumph went with their in house Harris Mann design. Anyway, the story goes that Michelotti was approached by someone on the stand who waited patiently while he had a look at the finished item. Michelotti carefully looked over one side, ran his finger down the scallop on the side and commented on it... then looked on the other side of the car and proclaimed, 'oh, youve done the same on the other side as well!'. Ahh... lovely story.  Not saying an indian tank is like a TR7, lets not go there, its too easy and im sure plenty of commenters were poised to hammer the poor old TR. Its just a funny story... moving on... |

Are you sure its not "wall art" and just missing the clock? That is shocking quality. Not sure how easy it would be to return one IF you purchased one. |

I'm going for an Indian tank, it'll be a real special as nobody else will buy one.
What is worse than an Indian tank? A UK seller asking £450 for a crap used proper one

Yes I remember someone on here posted a video of one being cut up was a real mess inside, it’s not just that they are the wrong shape they are a rusty unfinished mess inside |

Nice looking Indian tank on a Malaysian resto on facebook. My friend has Indian tanks on 2 Velo's. This isn't a judgement on the tanks only an observation.
