1949 Vincent HRD Lightning For Sale

This Machine is a professionly constructed Replica of one of the most iconic motorcycles ever built.

To call it simply a Replica is to do the machine a dis-service. Its a lightning in its specification and was commissioned with no expense spared for the late Peter Darvill, who was well known to be an expert on the Vincent racing machines as he contested them early in his carreer.

This machine has been constructed with only the best components and has been part of a private collection for many years.

Whats unique about this particular machine is the fitment of a genuine factory fuel tank, believed to be that used by the Vincent factory for a Monthlery speed record attempt.

This represents a great investment opportunity and i welcome serious enquiries to contact myself for further details.

Overseas shipping can be arranged and a part exchange may be possible.
