India only model isn't it?

Good luck with SVA if it is.

I'm surprised Triumph let them get away with using the name.

The name was apparently copyrighted in some countries only, and presumably not India.

Triumph and Ford had a spat over its use years ago.

In countries where the name was copyrighted Enfield use the name Rumbler.
Note to Self: Shiney side goes UP.

AndyM is on the money. Its an Indian home market model, so if it hasn't been properly imported, you are into all sorts of problems  :(
Namaste

Looks like it sold anyway.
