‘Matching Numbers’ Vincents                                                                                                                                           (highlighted in red)
These are ‘matching numbers’ bikes (ie main components have identical numbers to those in the factory records) that have been fully authenticated, and appear visually to be both in good condition and potentially fit for riding as a classic bike.  These include some of the best examples of the marque, which are likely to be investment-grade machines.   We can even arrange for a photo opportunity of you taking ownership of your classic Vincent at our headquarters.
Vincent Spares stock all the Vincent parts that you will need to maintain your Premium machine, and we offer a continuing 10% discount to Club Members.
Please note we are relying on visual and factory record inspection, owner’s description and we do not undertake a full mechanical examination.  We can arrange for an independent, experienced mechanic to undertake a mechanical review of the bike (at buyer’s cost) if required. 

 

A Rider’s Vincent                                                                                                                                                                        (Highlighted in Blue)
Whilst we authenticate the history of these bikes, they may not be matching numbers and appearance may be well road-ridden and in need of some attention.   Descriptions from seller and our own visual inspection suggests that they are reasonable examples which should potentially be fit for classic-bike riding (although we do not undertake a detailed mechanical inspection and no guarantee is given). 
Vincent Spares stock all the Vincent parts that you will need to maintain your Rider’s machine, and on most parts we can offer a 15% discount to Club Members for 12 months from purchase on Rider’s bikes (10% thereafter).
We can arrange for an experienced mechanic to undertake a mechanical review of the bike (at buyers cost) if required. 
A Project Bike                                                                                                                                                     (Highlighted in Green)
These may be examples from unfinished projects, look somewhat tired, or bikes that have not been ridden for many years.  Whilst we will check history of key components (engine, frame), buyers should expect to invest significant time by a skilled classic bike mechanic to get these into proper and safe riding order.  It is  worth noting that a matching numbers bike in poor condition may be regarded as a project bike.
Vincent Spares stock all the Vincent parts that you will need to restore your machine, and on most parts we can offer a 20% discount on large spares orders to Club Members for 12 months from purchase of  a Project Bike bought from us   (10% thereafter).
Contact us in confidence. We have a world wide audience of customers actively looking for Shadows, Rapides and Comets for riding and/or restoring.  Many of our customers are VOC members, so you know your beloved bike is going to a good home.
