Introduced in 1949 the Comet was only available in Series C form. The new models engine was clearly derived from the twin cylinder models with the rear cylinder being replaced by a frame tie that also supported the four speed Burman gearbox. In most other respects the Comet followed the twin cylinder models. When tested in 1949, the series C Comet was praised for both its excellent handling and braking, as well as a highly reputable 88mph top speed.
On offer is a 1950 Vicnet series C Comet, it is believed it was restored many years ago by a previous owner. The comet has been used a fare amount until it was sold to the vendor's father. The Comet was not used much by him and was passed down to the son due to his passing. It has been started from time to time and now will need some light decommissioning before placing it back on the road. The Vincent does not have matching numbers as confirmed with the VOC The frame is 1950 and the engine is 1951. A very usable Vincent comet that comes complete with a current V5c VOC dating certificate, and some restoration pictures.
