Hello All
One of the members in our VMCC section has been offered this bike as an RE. We’re not convinced (weird rear mudguard arrangement and left-hand gear change etc)…
Anyone recognise what it is please?

Hi, what looks at first glance to be an ensign engine appears to be a 4 stroke! (Zoom in on the cylinder base) If your colleague can see it up close have a look at the speedo and see if its got any logo. Vince

Mystery solved!
Thanks to Mark on the RE fb pages it’s been identified as a Brookhouse Indian Brave. Not sold in UK, hence left-side gear change.
It should look like this.
You learn new stuff every day!

Those Brockhouse braves were made and offered for sale in the UK, there were just not many takers - note the UK registration on the 'barn find' being offered for sale.
