FS: Indian 640 Sport Scout Racer basket

Most of the big and small hard to find parts to build a 1940 Indian 640 Sport Scout power plant , engine and 3 speed hand shift transmission, and a welded repro/copy sport scout frame.. The values are what I have paid to get the parts to the UK, or approximate values if I have traded to get the items. I don't want to part the project out as It has been gathered over the last 3 years with a view to build a racer to compete at UK flat track events such as Dirtquake. Due to personal reasons I have no inclination to go racing any more so its time to move the project on and concentrate on building my rigid Indian Chief road bike instead.
