1952 Vincent rapide 1000cc series c, outstanding documentation, super orignal

Description

ll matching and mostly original, this is a particularly well preserved example of Vincent’s iconic Rapide 1000cc V-twin. Recent engine inspection and mechanical attention by a specialist included new cams and followers, clutch rebuild, dynamo refurbishment and solid state regulator (hidden in the original case), new Concentric carburettors and an oil and filter change. More recently it has had the ignition timing checked and valve clearances adjusted, carbs set up perfectly by Classic Bike Workshop and test ridden by myself with complete satisfaction. The original carburettors come with the bike, which remains in standard specification in all respects. A VOC certificate and factory records confirm it is an all-matching numbers machine and this is supported by copies of factory test certificates, despatch records and an old RF60A log book confirming first registration 7th May 1952 with North London dealers White & Martin. Other documentation includes a collection of old MOT certificates, service invoice and records for the recent engine work, a genuine if tatty parts list and a list of previous owners from the very first (4 former keepers stated on the V5C but it looks like maybe seven).
