When I was young about 10 years old, my friend's dad collected Vincent's., this was when no one wanted them. He had Black lightning, white lightning, a rapide and black Prince. His bike when he passed his test at 17 was a red Comet. Unfortunately his dad died when we were still young, so I don't know what happened to the bikes.
