    Apparently they plan to open a factory in Leicestershire, it's later described as a "smaller satellite centre" so I'm guessing they'll assemble Indian parts kits but a homecoming of sorts.

    Surely someone could persuade them that Tidworth would be a better location?

    http://www.watsonian-squire.com/ were the importers for Enfield India (the correct name) up to 2012, then MotoGB took over importing when Watsonian decided to concentrate back on their original product sidecars.

    http://www.royalenfield.me/

    early Enfields from 1980-1990 were made and most had the same frame numbers, not a problem in India but some imported here were refused log books by DVLA as numbers allready allocated to a frame, which upset a few owners
