More on Vincents


In a attempt to follow up with the Vincent thread, I have some new information to share with you vintage model lovers with a “new twist on an old favorite” as coined by this article.

The new Vincent Black Shadow is quite a looker as you can see from the following pix.
The Standard Version

Sport Version

Touring Version

This gorgeous machine comes with a befitting price tag, one that puts it way over my budget, 75K. I imagine Jay Leno has at least one! ; )

More trivia…
Here is an amusing little eulogy given by Raoul Duke (aka the Dr.) at H.S. Thompsons memorial. Never sure if he was talking about H.S. or his Vincent Shadow.
“There he goes, one of God’s own prototype’s. Some kind of high powered mutant. Never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, too rare to die.”

More tomorrow!
