Lot details

  • A current V5C on file

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.

This 1950 Vincent Comet was purchased by the current vendor in 2013 from a friend of his. The vendor has described the Comet as a good usable machine that has not let him down since it has been in his ownership. It has been fitted with an Alton electric start for ease of starting. Previous work has been carried out, with receipts on file from the VOC spares scheme. Used by the current vendor until recently, it's now too heavy for him and he has decided to let someone else enjoy it. It should be noted that this Comet has non-matching numbers and the upper frame is from a 1950 Series C Rapide. It is offered with a current V5C, receipts for parts, some old MOT certificates, a parts book and a handbook.
