Introduced in 1949, the Comet was only available in Series C form. The new model's engine was clearly derived from the twin-cylinder models with the rear cylinder being replaced by a frame tie that also supported the four-speed Burman gearbox. In most other respects, the Comet followed the twin-cylinder models. When tested in 1949, the Series C Comet was praised for both its excellent handling and braking, as well as a highly reputable 88mph top speed.
On offer is a 1950 Vincent Series C Comet, believed to have been restored many years ago by a previous owner. The Comet had been used a fair amount until it was sold to the vendor's father. Scarcely used by him, it was then passed down to the son due to his passing. It has been started from time to time and will now need some light recommissioning before putting it back on the road. The Vincent does not have matching numbers, as confirmed with the Vincent Owner's Club; the frame is 1950 and the engine is 1951. A very usable Vincent Comet, it is offered with a current V5C, a Vincent Owner's Club Dating Certificate and some images from its restoration.
