SUMMARY

Late Model B HRD Vincet Rapide, an older restoration from long term family ownership.

DESCRIPTION

  • Post-war Vincents bristled with innovative features and were finished to a remarkably high standard, resulting in a showroom price that was virtually double that of its contemporaries, however it was the fabulous performance on offer from the powerful 998cc V-Twin that became legendary and is still talked about with reverence today 
  • With a top speed of over 100mph, the Vincent V-twin was the fastest vehicle on the road in period
  • 1949 was the changeover year from HRD to Vincent and the phasing out of Brampton girder forks 
  • This correct numbers, albeit frame number appears to be a non factory stamping, Series B HRD Vincent is fitted with 'Girdraulic' front forks and engine cases are still HRD
  • Exported from new to Brazil and then imported back in the early 1990s
  • Older restoration and same family ownership since 2008
  • Running approximately 15 years ago, recommission started in 2021 with new pistons, rings, etc but work stopped during COVID
  • Will require completion of recommission or restoring before road use
  • Engine turns with compression and fitted with a 5" Black Shadow speedo
  • Large history file containing, workshop manual, photos of its pre-2008 restoration, old MOTs, decals, old tax discs, old VOC dating letter from 1994, VOC correspondence, copies of original factory order form, old receipts and other related paperwork
  • Small selection of spares also included along with two Vincent books
  • UK-registered with a current V5C
