Description from the seller
Vincent Comet 500cc OHV 1951 with English papers
These Vincents were twice as expensive as a Norton 500cc ES2 in their time, and that says quite a bit.
The Vincent comes from a German collection and is in a very nice condition. and it runs very nicely

Philip Vincent (PCV) was ahead of his time with his revolutionary design. Vincents were fast and powerful motorcycles. The 84x90mm overhead-cam single delivers 28 HP at 5,800 rpm and has a compression ratio of 6.8:1.
These Vincents are great motorcycles to ride, but they are also excellent investment prospects that will only rise in value in the future.
The Vincent has English papers.
The chassis of a single-cylinder and a two-cylinder Vincent is almost the same.
Therefore the Comet was almost as expensive to produce as the V-Twin (Rapide, Black Shadow). The production of the Comet was stopped with the introduction of the Series D.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
