Hi guys----------- I'm fed up with Enfields and am going for something "different"}------ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1950-Vincent- ... 25818d7698 ----------------------- at that price I'll have TWO please !!!!!

Reasonably priced for '50 Lightning.
I always thought the seats looked awful on most Vincents so I'll not buy this one

-------------- yes, same here..Looks like a plank of wood with some cloth round it..All that "clever engineering" of the day and yet a cheapie seat fitted ??

Just DONT let Sofiaspin get his hands on it... Will be doing a ROLLIE FREE past the speed cameras.. "Wicked".

----------- that should be spelt as}--- GLOUCESTER ---------- sorry Henry !!

Hi Alan. The seat is a plank of wood so that might account for the way it looks. (plywood actually).

---------- You have to suffer to be fashionable, even in those days !!

What a shame - the bidding has ended before I had the chance to bid!!! Guess I will have to stick to my Bullet - although with the £80k or so that I have saved by not buying the Vincent think of the tuning parts that I can now buy!!!! If only....

------------ interesting thing was the "vendor"}---- Brooklands Museum Trust Ltd...... Odd to see them selling on E-bay, perhaps ??
