Hey Chris, how are things in BC? Winter's here in Ft McMurray.
Just waiting for the first big dump of snow. I've been busy with the
Interceptor and my other bikes, but now that the riding season is over
have a bit of time to go over my old emails. I have the serial number of
mine for you, it's off the headstock, it's F1401. So you can add that to
your database. I might shoot you an email every once in awhile if I run
up on a question I can't figure out, if it's OK with you. Are both of
your Interceptors on the road?
Cheers, Emile.

Emile,
The REOC has most of the shipping records up to 1B 2121. There were
another 79 SII's built after that at Westwood. Subsequently a few were
built up from spares. So, over 1200 SII's were built, plus the engines
for Clymer's Indian Enfield, most of which ended up in Rickman frames.
I do not know where they were shipped to.. I have recorded serial
numbers of 82 surviving SII's worldwide (2 of them mine). There must
be many more. More info has just been posted to the
RE_Inte-@yahoogroups.com forum in response to another query.
I have an ongoing quest to tally as many Interceptors by serial numbers
as I can, in an attempt to guess at how many survive. All contributions
of numbers gratefully received.

Does anyone know how many MKII Interceptors were brought into Canada
around 1969/70? I'm looking at picking up a '69 or '70 model and am
curious how many of them were imported. I'm also curious, but less so,
about how many were brought into the US market at the time.
Emile.
