c.1934 Indian Sport Scout, 750 cc. Registration number not registered. Chassis number (see text). Engine number FDC11014 B. A smaller Indian v-twin model, the 37ci (600cc) Scout, joined the existing 61ci Power plus in 1920 and soon gained a deserved reputation for durability; so much so that 'You can't wear out an Indian Scout' became its advertising slogan. Contributing to this longevity was the use of gears for the primary drive rather than the customary chain, and this unusual feature would endure until 1933. A 45ci (750cc) variant was first offered in 1927 and then in April 1928 the 101 Scout appeared featuring a revised 750cc 'flat head' engine in a new, longer-wheelbase frame. This sporting machine would prove an immense success for the Springfield firm, so much so that its replacement in 1931 by a heavier Chief-framed model was greeted with dismay. Introduced in 1934, the Sport Scout went some way towards retrieving the Scout's reputation, featuring a lighter 'keystone' (open) frame and European-style girder forks. A 45ci side valve engine that used circulating dry sump lubrication instead of the old total loss system replaced the 101 motor. Improved engine cooling was achieved by larger cooling fins on the cylinders and aluminium heads. A 3-row chain replaced the helical cut gears in the primary, but was still sealed in an oil bath. The new engine delivered 25 horsepower and could manage 55 miles per gallon. The chassis used the engine as a stress frame member. Weighing in at 440lbs, the Scout could achieve a top speed of 80-85mph. Lighter and faster than its immediate predecessor, the Sport Scout was just what enthusiasts and racers had been crying out for, and today remains a favourite among discerning Indian owners and riders. Nothing is known of the history of this rare machine, it would appear to have been converted to be used on an oval track with a chromed frame (covering the frame number) and having a new front end. Please note there is a lot in the spares section with foot boards handle bar grips, instruments and other items that may have come with the machine. It will require recommissioning, there is no paperwork and will make a rewarding project for the next owner.
