SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION

Following on from the legendary Shadow, Phil Vincent wanted to produce a 'two-wheeled Bentley' so, in 1954, he developed and launched the Black Prince with all new aerodynamic bodywork clothing the traditional 998cc V-twin engine and suspension
Only 132 were ever produced when production ended in December 1955 with the company's demise
Often regarded as more a piece of art than a mere motorcycle and highly sought after today, it stands as both a technical milestone and a symbol of Vincent’s fearless pursuit of innovation
This well used example was purchased by its deceased owner whilst in his 20s in the mid 1960s
Has remained in his hands until his passing last year, during his ownership the bike has travelled extensively throughout the UK and Europe, even a trip to Canada was completed in the 1980s
The bike has undergone a few modifications to assist in its usability including an electric start, disc brakes, indicators and even SatNav
Fitted with a Watsonian Monaco sidecar and complete with a spare cowling and panniers
Running last year but might require some basic recommissioning before road use
Correct numbers with G73V crank case pairing numbers
UK-registered on a current V5C
