Summary
This 1951 Vincent Rapide Series C was inherited by the seller in 2023 after an extended period with their father. It features a Girdraulic fork, Black Shadow-style Smiths Chronometric speedometer, chrome two-into-one exhaust, dual rear sprockets, and three deployable stands. Recent service in May 2025 included adjusting the clutch, primary chain, timing, and valves, along with replacing tires and cleaning the fuel tank and carburetors; however, corrosion is noted on the front rim.
