c. 1951 Tandon Kangaroo, 122cc. Registration number, not registered. Frame number K415. Engine number 763 2241.
Tandon Motorcycles were manufactured in Watford by Indian born Devdutt Tandon between 1947 and 1959 for export to his native India and other third world countries initially. The model was the 122 cc Milemaster, powered like all but the last Tandons by a Villiers two-stroke engine.
All models used a unquie suspension, comprising rubber bands for suspension and a hard rubber block for compression action, all located under the gearbox.
The short-lived (1951–1953) but relatively popular 122 cc Kangaroo trials model boasted the attractions of significant ground clearance and light weight.
This rare example has been restored by our vendor having been found in a poor state. The engine has been rebuilt but it needs minor finishing.
