This 1950 Vincent Series C Rapide has been in the current family ownership for many years and is only being offered for sale to help fund a house purchase. ‘LKB 353’ F10AB/1/8431 and 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 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 15th June 1974. The latter only kept the Vincent for eight months before selling it to a Mr Culley of 118 St Helens Road, Rainford. The Rapide was purchased by the current vendor’s late grandfather, Mr Bullock, sometime in the 1980s. Mr Bullock was a well-known Vincent collector back then and a popular member of the Club for many years.
Inheriting the motorcycle in 2019, the vendor has started it periodically and tells us that it ‘runs well’. Nevertheless, 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.
