SUMMARY
This, matching-numbers, Series 'C' Rapide has a known history from new and remains in outstanding condition.
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 approaching 120mph, the Vincent V-twin was the fastest vehicle on the road in period
- JHO 51 is a matching-numbers, Series 'C' Rapide with known history from day one
- Supplied new in 1950 by Jenkins & Purser of Southampton
- Restored over a seven year period by marque specialist Bob Culver and completed in 2012
- A lengthy feature in Classic Bike 2013, a copy of which is included in the history file, documents JHO 51’s return to the road
- In outstanding condition throughout and ready to grace any serious collection
- Detailed history available on request
- Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged
