Description
Vincent Rapide Series 2, 1952.
I have owned this bike since December 1986. It was restored in 1988, and I have done little mileage with it. The speedo shows 6,122 miles—I believe this is the total mileage I have done, as the speedo and rev counter were refurbished and reset to zero.
The restoration was carried out by A. J. Callidine in Bilsthorpe, Notts, over a four-year period (which helped with the cash flow). I haven't used the bike for about eight years, although I did tax it last year with the intention of using it, but it didn't happen.
It should be used, so I have decided to sell it. Over the last two years, I have reduced my collection and kept the bikes I actually use.
I have no receipts for the work done, as it was my bike, and I simply paid to keep it in running condition, never considering that people would want proof of the work in the future.
Please come and view or contact me via email or telephone with any questions. The bike is located near Newark.
Payment by cash or bank transfer.
Not many come up for sale these days—this makes a great investment while also being a joy to ride.
For the number crunchers, all numbers are correct. I have a photocopy of the factory build sheet.
