• Present ownership since 2008
• Dry stored since acquisition
• Requires recommissioning
Upper and rear frames stamped 'RC/1/7223' are from a series Series-C Comet despatched to the Whittaker's dealership in Blackpool in November 1950. The upper frame's '22' has a 'stamping bounce' but the font appears correct, as does the rear frame type. 'EFV 356' is the original UK registration. Engine number 'F5AB/2A/3006' is originally from a Series-C Comet despatched to Jordan's of Hull in November 1949 and thus is not original to the frame.
The late owner purchased the Vincent in 2008, since when it has been kept dry stored. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over with compression). It should be noted that the headlamp glass and chrome surround is detached.
It should also be noted that the HPI report records that this motorcycle had an identity check carried out in 2004 following a repair and/or accident damage. Accordingly, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to this motorcycle's completeness, originality and mechanical condition prior to bidding. Additionally, there is no V5C Registration Certificate offered with this Lot. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves with regard to the motorcycle's registration status. (The successful purchaser will have to apply to the DVLA for a new registration document.) Accompanying documents include a copy/print of the 2008 purchase receipt, DVLA correspondence and a SORN notification.
