Shilton travelled to Riyadh in March 1975 with the intention of selling Interpols to Saudi's Minister of Defence Prince Aziz. Shilton impressed Prince Aziz at a military tattoo by riding past the royal enclosure on an Interpol with the lights flashing and siren sounding with Shilton standing to attention on the footrests and giving an eyes right salute as he passed. A deal worth £1 million was agreed to supply nearly 600 bikes.
