Description

Series c comet Rapide.
The UFM and RFM are a matched pair from a 1954 rapide(and reg). at some point its lost its twin engine and it's been fitted with a comet engine., looks like this happened late 1960s
It's got a terry prince big bore kit fitted making it 600cc and a alton generator.
You could refit a 1000cc engine and have a rapide
The interesting bit is the original engine from this machine is highly likely one of the 8 engines used in the racing capon specials and would explain the comet engine being fitted.
It hasnt been started or used in last couple of years so will need a going through
I'm looking for a prewar 1920s norton 500 single and a 1939 tiger 100 or 38 speedtwin so a deal could be done if you want to donate exchange
Sorry, no offers
