This new page will allow you to look at the history of sales and get a feel of what Vincent specials are sold for over the years. Please be aware that unlike for the stock Vincents where the market price is driven mainly by the history of the machine, the respect of the original specification, the rarity of the model, a fully professional restored condition, not to mention the famous “matching numbers” or the eventual unrestored bonus factors, for the Specials it is a very different dynamic which is even more complex. So watch out what you are buying and always ask assistance of a friend or an expert whose opinion will likely be more pragmatic and less passionate than yours!

EV48D is quite an exceptional Egli-Vincent, not only because it was built from an early frame delivered by Egli to Roger Slater, but also because it is still in a very original condition from 1969. The bike was collected from Slater by the original owner in the winter 1969-70, and was registered as a 1970 model in Sweden. EV48D is known as the first Egli imported in this country and in fact it was exhibited at the Malmo Motorcycle Fair in 1970. The original owner kept it for 48 years and then it sold it to the current owner in 2018. The engine was overhauled completely approximatively 20 years ago, and the bike has been virtually unused since then. Compression is 9:1 compression, it has the Mk II cams fitted, Robinson front brake and Vincent rear brake, Dunlop rims, Metal Profile front forks and newly installed Grosset starter and 12v Alton.

Built by Matthew Biberman and Logan Robison, this Special—christened “the Vingusta”—is a 1200 with two of the last Terry Prince top end kits (assembled by Steve Hamel). The lower end and the fitting of the 5 speed gearbox was done by Bob Dunn in the UK using mismatched but original crankcases sourced from Terry Prince, as was the frame. Suspension front and rear is up to date and fully adjustable with Marzocchi 50mm RAC upside-down forks and a Progressive 465 RAP monoshock. Brembo P4 radial calipers grab massive 320mm Braking SK2 discs. Pirelli Sport Demons wrap classic 40-spoke Sun Rim wheels. Pazon twin plug ignition head, Grosset electric start kit and Alton 12 volt generator system. 36mm Amal MKIIs are mated to custom manifolds made by Craig Rodsmith, who did the bodywork and finished off the two into one exhaust system work (sourced as a kit from Colin Taylor). Rizoma components are featured. With reasonable 9 to 1 modern pistons, and at only 1200cc the bike is easy to start, sounds great. Asking price $85,000

Vincent Engine Number: F10AB/2/10728 (Vincent Rapide D from 1955) and Norton frame number: 56228 (wideline frame from 1954). Engine was completely rebuild with new parts from Maughan & Sons, England and rebored to 90mm which gives the engine 1140ccm and some extra torque. The 90mm pistons were custom produced by Wahl, Germany and the engine comes with a double ignition.
The wideline frame was adjusted to fit the engine and gives it a perfect low centre of gravity position. The chopped engine was extended with the market leading TT Industries 5-speed extra heavy duty gearbox from New Zealand and a Bob Newby primary beltdrive and clutch.
Hand made alloy tanks were produced to fit perfectly between frame & engine, 2nd alloy tank sits in the back underneath the seat for easier refilling and checking of oil circulation. The breathing of the engine was taking care through extra pipes from the crank and the top of the cylinder heads. Specially built high level exhaust system by Alden Exhausts, England.

Auction ended at $4,250 on 4/26/17
Comment: unlike what stated on eBay, this is not an Egli frame but a TPV (i), therefore it is not a 1966 year (said 1066) but 1990 – so be aware or titling challenges in some countries (ii) and last the Vincent single has a left hand side transmission so it may require mods on the swing arm to attach the rear brake, a point that needs to be checked with the vendor.

Built it in the uk in 2001 by Chris Knibbs and exported to NZ in 2006 – It has been compliant in both countries. The bike has two front heads, a Norton commando transmission with RGM belt drive, electronic ignition, Kubota alternator, Moto Guzzi front end, Norton Commando rear hub, flanged rims with stainless spokes. gearbox has outrigger bearing tied to crankcases, no tensioning required so no slots and drawbolts.

Asking price: £1,895
Comment: Unless you are a “pro” and motivated, you must know you are FAR AWAY to have a riding bike (hours and $) with such project. Think also that if the frame is not coded nor has its V2, that’s another upcoming hassle.

This Comet has been for sale for a while but did not sale Jun 1 on eBay at $20,100 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/131199200792).
Nicknamed “The Red Rocket”, it was purchased from a road race museum two years ago. “Engine is a 498cc with only 26,000 original miles, the original standard cylinder bores were found to be quite serviceable. Well-known Vincent expert Marty Dickerson supplied a brand new standard 11:1 piston while legendary restorer Mike Parti implanted an Alpha big end and lined the flywheels. The heads were ported to match the Amal GP carburetor that Al found at a swap meet where he also located the Norton 4-speed transmission now found on the Red Rocket in place of the standard Burman box. Bike is sold with bill of sale, not a title.”
My comments: The reserve price is said to have been lowered by $10,000, however the asking price is still too high. For the time being, considering the work to be done on the bike, the last eBay auction seems to be about the right price for whoever is interested by the pedigree of the bike. 06/15/2014
This 1949 Vincent Rapide was auctioned at Las Vegas in Jan 2013. At $66,000 it did not sell. The seller was asking for $80,000. The engine is stroked to 1200cc and the catalogue mentions the following: “The Rapide has been a personal project for the seller for over 20 years and was recently completed in October 2013. The restoration was done with great attention to details and include parts from a rare Vincent Lightning and a Vincent Black Shadow. After restoration no fluids were added. No miles on the rebuilt engine. Overall the seller wanted to create the vision of the “Ultimate Café Racer”, this bike is the result! Sold with title guaranteed” Contact Franck on his cell 714-272-0462
My comments: although the seller seems to have done a great job in assembling parts coming from several basket cases, he definitely over-estimate the value of the bike at $80,000. Numbers do not match and it is only a Rapide. If you fall in love with the style, go for it, but be aware you will likely do not return your money before years…. 03/20/2014
Description says:
“Started life as a Rapide series C 1954, matching numbers, complete with new and old buff log book. Built using a lot of genuine, original Lightning parts (ie Lightning Smith yellow faced rev counter , foot pegs, seat, magneto and gearbox) This bike has been raced for thirty years plus and owned by myself for the last 18 plus years and raced all over Europe ready for the forthcoming season. It is only for sale as I am retiring from a lifetime of racing and scaling down my collection.”
Unsold on eBay, you can contact the seller at +44 (0) 7707 085372
My comments: looks like a very neat bike which is perfect if you cannot afford the genuine thing or as a second Vincent, but don’t forget it will remain a Rapide forever. 03/17/2014

JMC Egli Vincent 1000 built around 2000. Frame # R2223 and Engine # F5AB2A3058 . Offers around £40,000. Contact classicbikes@btinternet.com or +44 (0) 1630 657156 http://www.classicbikes.co.uk
My comments: Frame number is said to come from a Vincent Comet (so is the engine number F5AB/2A instead of F10AB/1). As some countries do not accept engine upsize, check if the title specify “Comet”. Overpriced – for information this bike was auctioned at Bonhams £18,400 on Oct 18, 2009. http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/17664/lot/403/ 03/17/2014
