Summary
This 60-years-family-owned 1953 Vincent Rapide Series C, acquired by the seller's father in the 1950s, shows 44k miles and features a 1990s engine overhaul with Kempalloid pistons and a steel idler. The bike was repainted in the 1970s and has been modified with a Podtronics voltage regulator, an alloy front rim, an Ikon rear damper, and an Alton alternator, with recent work in 2021 including replacement carburetors and a new wiring harness. Chips in the finish are noted, and the front fender was repainted after an accident, though the frame was checked and found to be straight.
