Indian billionaire Anand Mahindra is planning to bring back iconic British motorcycle brand BSA after it went bankrupt in the 1970s
The billionaire chairman of Mahindra Group has said that he hopes the first bikes could start rolling off a production line somewhere near BSA's old factory in Small Heath, Birmingham, by the middle of next year.
Mr Mahindra also hopes to soon start building a research facility in Banbury, Oxfordshire, where electric motorcycles will be developed, he told the Guardian.
