The Vindian came about in 1948, before Clymer got his sticky fingers in the plot. He later got hold of the name and had Italjet build the bikes that sold under the Indian banner. Perhaps the best Velos of them all? Italjets with Royal Enfield engines were also marketed as Indian.

Fell in love with Velos when I regularly walked past a Thruxton Clubman (must have been one of the last built, afaIk there was a special run of them for Oz) on my way to primary school...

Did someone say Velo I couldn't help myself

I think there was a Venom Clubman, and a Thruxton, but no Thruxton Clubman (inner pedant at work here).
