The Vincent Comet was one of four 499cc single models. As well as the sports Comet, Vincent produced a TT racing model, the Comet Special (a TT model with lights) and the standard Vincent Meteor, which shared many of the same cycle parts. The prototype Series A was refined and developed into a production model Series B, but after World War II it was the development of the Series C that represents the ultimate Vincent 500cc single.

The Vincent Comet on offer was purchased by the late vendor in 2008 and is an all-correct numbers as per factory records. For the late owner, the reason for the purchase was purely related to the fact that his HRD Rapide was fast and his friends could not keep up! Used on many runs during ownership until the late vendor’s passing. It has been in dry storage and kicked over from time to time, however, it will require light recommissioning before use. The Vincent is accompanied by a current V5C, a continuation logbook from 1959 and various old MOT certificates and some paperwork.
