Description
Full information and history of the bike is a little hard to find, but the family is connecting with the owner's friends. According to the daughter's knowledge, the bike was renovated in the UK by a Vincent specialist around 2005. Her father owned many bikes and spent a lot of money keeping them in top condition. He bought the bike in 1997, and records indicate it was originally a Swedish-sold bike that was re-registered in 1973. More information can be supplied via "Statsarkiv" if the buyer makes a request.
UPDATE: The family has discovered receipts indicating that MAUGHAN & SON LTD carried out the renovation work, which totaled £16,500. The costs break down as follows: Engine £7,651, Cycle Spares £7,342, and an additional £3,600 plus VAT. I have added extra pictures of the invoices. The Vincent Owners Club UK "HRD" has confirmed that F10AB/1/10100, with crankcase mating number B53V and upper frame member number RC/1/8798, is from a Comet, not a Rapide, although they shared the same frames. The startup service has been completed, and while the bike kicks over fine and everything feels right, it is not firing up.

- At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time.

- During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
