This 1950 Vincent Series C Rapide on offer has been in the family for many years and only being offered to the open market due to a house purchase. ‘LKB 353’ F10AB/ 1/ 8431 & RC10331/ C is a standard Series C Rapide despatched to Kings of Oxford on 17th January 1952. It was sold to a Mr Abraham Vasco of 51 Bourne Street, Liverpool, on the 17th May 1950. Mr Vasco kept ‘LKB 353’ for 24 years until it was sold to a Mr Irvine of 21 Laurel Road, Liverpool , on the 15th June 1974, only keeping it for 8 months before being sold to its next owner a Mr Culley 118 St Helens Road, Rainford. The Vincent was purchased by the current vendor’s late grandfather some time in the 1980s. 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. It comes complete with a current V5C and an original RF60 logbook. The Vincent Owner’s Club have confirmed this is a correct machine with its correct factory stampings.
