This machine comes with a completely documented history. There are early

photographs of the first owner who attached a sidecar and used the outfit for family

camping trips. The bike was later owned and restored by two Lifetime Honorary

Members of the Vincent Owners’ Club. There is hand-written correspondence

among these parties, parts invoices and notes. Idle for many years, it has been

recommissioned in Canada by Phil Mahood, a well-known Vincent restorer. Part of

this exercise was to upgrade the electrical wiring with a new harness from Rhode

Island Wiring. This electrical wiring is an exact copy of the original with all the

correct wire colors.

Overall, the machine is exceptionally original to a concours standard. Details like

original herring bone fuel lines with correctly crimpled brass ferrules stand out.

These parts are no longer available. This “as-it-left-the-factory” authenticity carries

throughout the machine. The only modern upgrade is 12-volt electrics and better

lighting. Even this is carried out sensitively with a rewound Lucas D6 generator

that is correct for the bike. Finally, this is a fully numbers-matching machine with

no clouds in that respect. There is a Dating Certificate from the Machine Registrar

of the Vincent Owners’ Club.

This is an exceptional example of a very rare Vincent, ready to be used and

enjoyed. Asking Price: $75,000 US
