This 1955 Vincent Series D Black Shadow on offer has been in the family for many years and only being offered to the open market due to a house purchase. ‘TKD 747’ RD12880/ B & F10AB/ 2B/ 10986 was first purchased by A E Renyolds Ltd, Liverpool, on 23rd July 1955. It was then sold to a sold a Mr Walker of 43 Malpas Road, Wallasey, Wirral on 16th September 1955. It was then sold to a Mr Geritty from Morton, Wirral, on the 5th July 1955. The Vincent Black Shadow was purchased by the current vendor’s late grandfather sometime in the early 1990s. Mr Bullock was a Vincent collector back in the 1980s/ 90s and was a popular Vincent Club member for many years. The current machine was left to the Grandson and current owner in 2019. It has been started from time to time and we have been advised it runs well. Some recommissioning would be advised before use. It comes complete with a current V5C and an original RF60 logbook. The Vincent Owner’s Club cannot confirm this is a ‘correct’ machine with its correct stampings that left the factory, due to not seeing the RD stamped to one side on the UFM.
