War period in the late 1. Numerous builders of specials indeed maintained the v- twin very competitive with special frames such those made by Derek Parkin in the early 1. Fritz Egli from 1. The Nor. Vin, an hybrid of Norton Manx frame and Vincent engine. Even today re- creation of this mythic machine are possible since engines are remanufactured by craftsmen such as Patrick Godet or Ken Horner (Irving- Vincent) enabling the Vincent to keep up with much modern gears. Legend has it that it was while a prisoner of war that he conceived the idea of building his own motorcycle, and contemplated how he might achieve that. It was not until 1. Davies entered into partnership with E J Massey, trading as HRD Motors. Various models were produced, generally powered by J. A. P. In January 1. The company was initially bought by Ernest Humphries of OK- Supreme Motors for the factory space, and the HRD name, jigs, tools, patterns, and remaining components were subsequently offered for sale again. Phil Vincent. He had built a motorcycle of his own in 1. With the backing of his family wealth from cattle ranching in Argentina, Vincent acquired the trademark, goodwill and remaining components of HRD from Humphries for . The new trademark had The Vincent in very small letters above the large . After World War 2 Britain had an export drive to repay its war debts, and the USA was the largest market for motorcycles, so from 1. HRD was dropped from the name to avoid any confusion with the . The earliest known example extant exists in Canberra, Australia. Some early bikes used Rudge- Python engines. But after a disastrous 1. Isle of Man TT, with engine problems and all three entries failing to finish, Phil Vincent and Phil Irving decided to build their own engines. Phil Vincent also experimented with three- wheeled vehicles, amphibious vehicles, and automobiles. In 1. 93. 2 the first 3- wheeler, . It was a 2. 5 cwt delivery van with a car seat and a steering wheel. Production ceased in 1. Massey from the original HRD company after initially working on metallurgy for Velocette. Vincent primarily made munitions, but Vincent engines were trialled in boats and portable pumps during the war, and the end of hostilities saw Vincent ready to return to motorcycle production. Vincent developed a highly efficient opposed- piston two- stroke engine for use in air- dropped lifeboats, although development outlasted the war and it never went into service. Vincent already looked to the United States for sales, and in 1. Eugene Aucott opened the first USA dealership in the city of Philadelphia. Others followed. Meteor and Comet. There was a TT replica & the Comet Special (basically a TTR with lights, horn etc.), which used a bronze head. This resulted in the 4. Its frame was of brazed lug construction, based on the Comet design but extended to accommodate the longer V twin engine. It continued the use of . Other innovations included a side stand. Innovative telescopic forks were not adopted by Vincent, with both Phils believing girder forks were superior at the time and beyond. The Series- A had external oil lines . The high power meant that the Burman clutch and gearbox transmission did not cope well. Cantilever rear springing. Front forks: Brampton girder forks. Top Speed: 1. 10 mph (1. Series B Rapide. The angle between the cylinders was now 5. This allowed the use of the engine as a stressed member of the frame, which consisted of an oil- tank spine with the engine hanging below, and the front and rear suspension attached at the ends. This was considered sensational at the time, and the arrangement was not seen again till the late seventies. The use of the engine- gearbox unit as a stressed member became more usual. Brakes were dual single- leading shoe (SLS), front and rear. The 5. 5. 5- inch (1,4. Series A, and its dimensions were more like a 5. A more modern hydraulic shock absorber and spring assembly later replaced the old twin springs and friction damper. The rear seat was supported by a sub- frame down to the rear frame pivot point, providing a semi- sprung seat with 6 inches (1. The rear wheel was reversible, and different size rear sprockets could be fitted for quick final- drive ratio changes. The brake & gear shift were adjustable for reach to suit individual feet. The rear mud guard was hinged to facilitate the removal of the rear wheel. From today's perspective, it seems incongruous that Vincent could see the need for, and design, a cantilever rear suspension, as well as incorporate so many other new ideas, yet use Brampton girder forks with friction dampers up front. The two Phils felt that the telescopic forks of the time were prone to lateral flex, so they persisted with girder forks, and did use hydraulic damping in the Series C . The resulting hybrid Vindian did not go into production. Series C Vincents. The engine produced 5. W) @ 5. 70. 0 rpm in Black Shadow trim. The Black Lightning was a racing version of the Black Shadow; every necessary steel part on it that could be was remade in aluminium, and anything not essential was removed altogether. These changes helped reduce the weight from 4. Every bit the racer, it had a single racing seat and rear- set footrests. The 5. 00 cc Meteor and Comet singles were introduced, along with a 5. Vincent Grey Flash. The Grey Flash racer used Albion gears, for the greater choice of ratios available. In 1. 94. 9 a White Shadow (a machine to Black Shadow mechanical specification, plus additional modification) was available, but only 1. In 1. 95. 0 1. 6 Red Comets were shipped to the United States. There were also 3. Grey Flash built. Ltd., Great North Road, Stevenage, Herts. With sales falling, Vincent tried modernizing his existing line by enclosing the motorcycles in fiberglass bodywork; fairings, engine shrouds, and an enclosed tail section; these were named the Victor (an upgraded Comet), the Black Knight (an upgraded Rapide) and the Black Prince (an upgraded Shadow). They were poorly received by the public, and suffered delays in production, waiting for the new bodywork. A short- lived unfaired version of the Black Prince was then produced, and a Series D Comet. Rolland . The picture of Free, prone and wearing a bathing suit, has been described as the most famous picture in motorcycling . It was also known as the Vincent Power Cycle. The Vincent Owners Club was predictably surprised by this new, cheap, entry- level Vincent. In the quest for solvency, Vincent looked for ways to improve their position. The trike idea was revived. The Bantam was priced at . It ceased production in 1. The body was made from 1. With the standard Rapide engine, . Before it was sold, in the hands of Ted Davis, it achieved 1. Black Lightning engine. A sales slump in 1. NSU mopeds. One hundred sixty two- stroke Foxes NSU- Vincent 1. There were also 4. OHV four- stroke NSU- Vincents, and Vincent also sold the . This was called the Picador project. They did not get a contract. The name and motorcycle component manufacturing rights were taken over by a local business, Harper Engines Ltd., of Stevenage, Herts.. In the early 1. 97. Vincent Owners Club created via public subscription the VOC Spares Company Ltd to ensure continued availability of spares. The company is independent of the club who retain a majority share holding. The most common was the Norvin, using a Norton Featherbed frame. Other names were used, including Vincent. The business soon was dissolved. The company was named RTV Motorcycles. Its ambition was to produce a modern- day classic Vincent motorcycle that could be marketed, in reasonable volumes, worldwide. It used a redesigned and modernised version of the Vincent engine, engineered by Prince, with an increased capacity and in an Egli- style frame. The motorcycles were to be built individually by hand. The range was to include both a touring and sports model in capacities of 1,0. RTV1. 00. 0) and 1,2. RTV1. 20. 0). Complete new engines would also be made available for separate purchase. Production was initially to begin for the larger capacity machine designated the RTV1. These were to be fitted, as standard, with state of the art; Bosch electric start, Brembo brakes, adjustable Paioli upside down forks, Ohlins rear monoshock and V- 2 multiplate clutch. The first factory prototype RTV was built in 1. RTV prototypes were in various stages before the company went into voluntary liquidation towards the end of that year. Vincent Motors was based in San Diego. It is a re- engineered version based on the original Phil Irving drawings, with engine capacities of 1. Advert - Vincent Harper Engines Ltd., Stevenage, Herts.
