1954 Vincent Black Shadow Series C
Beautiful 1954 Vincent Series C Black Shadow. Just finished from a no expense spared, nut and bolt restoration to mint condition.
Original parts used where possible, all other parts from Maughan and Sons and Vincent Owners Club. Very correct build with many NOS parts sourced.
Black Shadow engine (with matching crankcase numbers) matches the RFM number. They are correctly 1900 apart.
The upper frame member fitted (UFM) is from a Rapide. The original UFM for this Black Shadow is currently mounted on a Comet and the contact details of the owner will follow the Black Shadow, so a swap can be negotiated.
