114 pages, 88 illustrations, size 8.25 x 11 inches. In 1968 Floyd Clymer began using the Indian trademark on a series of 50cc minibikes that were manufactured under a partnership arrangement with Italjet, a motorcycle manufacturer based in Italy. Unfortunately, Floyd's untimely death in January 1970 ended his attempt to revive the Indian marque and as a result this publication is probably the rarest of all the Floyd Clymer Publications. It is rare for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that his involvement with the Italjet Indian minibikes was still in the fledgling stage at the time of his death. In addition, as Floyd had only imported a small number of these 50cc minibikes there was little justification in printing large quantities of this 'dealer only' publication. This illustrated parts list is a valuable reference for any Ponybike, Boy Racer and Papoose minibike owner and a 'must have' resource for any Clymer, Italjet, Indian minibike enthusiast. The exploded diagrams in the parts list would be a critical part of any restoration project and the addition of a selection of photographs, reviews and data sheets for the various models from Clymer's original sales literature makes for easy identification of original construction details. Out-of-print and unavailable for many years this truly scarce publication is almost impossible to find on the secondary market and we are pleased to be able to offer this reproduction as a service to all Clymer, Italjet, Indian minibike owners and enthusiasts worldwide.
84 pages, 83 black & white illustrations, size 8.25 x 11 inches. Published in the USA under the same title in 1951 by Floyd Clymer, the original publication was a pocket sized landscape format book and it is often criticized as difficult to read due to its small print size. Consequently, this edition was re-formatted into a larger and more conventional portrait size which has increased the text size by almost 40%. This publication provides the reader with an insight into the country, and the manufacturers, that were ultimately destined to succumb to the dominance of the Japanese motorcycle industry. A total of 33 different British motorcycle manufacturers and their various models are included and sadly, less than a handful of those 33 manufacturers survive today. A 'must have' resource for any motorcycle enthusiast and an invaluable reference for anyone interested in British 'iron'. Many of the motorcycles featured within are highly collectible today and the predominance of these early manufacturers no longer exist. This truly historical documentation of the glory years of British motorcycle manufacturing has been out-of-print and unavailable for many years and is becoming increasingly more difficult to find on the secondary market. We are pleased to be able to offer this reproduction as a service to all motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide.
