This calender may appeal to your female fans more...as all other months show various men from our village of Ancaster, Grantham...partially undressed to raise money for the newly formed under 8's football team! I contacted you as the
owner of the bike said he thought some people would have an interest as he has won various awards at shows ...for the bike that is! Worth a try I thought.

I have a nsu vincent fox 123cc from 1955.seemingly one of only 40 ever made with the vincent company. Does anybody have any information about this model?

Vincent and NSU enjoyed a business relationship in the 1950s when the English company marketed NSU Quickly machines in the UK. There is an article on NSU Vincent in Motor Cycling Nov 5th 1953. More here...

B series Rapide. GBL 843
Would love to know if she is still alive?
---
Thanks for your reply. Sorry no images of the old girl. I bought the bike in the fifties, it had been exported to Canada but reimported in early fifties. It was made in 1947 and still went like "stink".I actually took my driving test
on it and lots of eyebrows were raised when they saw a "VINNY" with "L" plates !!! I kept the bike about about 4 years and sold it to a son of the Spirella" ladies corset firm for 50 pounds!!!!!!! My brother also had a Rapide that he brought
up to Lightning spec, that is now owned by a friend who sprinted it( Mickey Alexander) and his mech. was Doug Lidiard.My father also had a Rapide but i dont know where that went. I still can tell a Vinny at 2000 paces the moment i hear its
"laid back" engine noise.Although im approaching 68 i would have another Vinny"if i win the Lottery!! Would love to think that the old girl is still giving fun to somebody. Best regards Neil.

VINCENT HRD 1949 listed on Ebay UK
Vendor's Description:
VINCENT HRD 1949 One Owner From New, With Blacknell Bullit Side Car
First registered 5/8/1949.
Frame number, RC4116.
Engine number, F10AB/1/2216.
Reg number, KUR181.
This is a once in a life time oppertunaty for some one to purchase a one owner fully documented Vincent HRD.
This bike and side car have been in storage for over 30 years. I have changed the oil and plugs and it started third kick, sounds great.
Although the bike now needs some restoration work it is in fully running condition. I have every receipt from new including both log books, purchase receipt, guarantee fom Vincents, all finance papers from purchase, i even have the tag that hung on the handle bars from new.
I don't belive you will ever find a more original and fully documented bike than this one.

HI, I was just sitting here surfing away at the WEB and happened to have this picture laying on my computer desk. That's me in Milford, CT, in 1964, with my Norton "MANX" frame VINCENT. It was a ROCKET SHIP and turned heads where ever it
went. keep up the good work ! -- PEDARN at aol dot com

Vincent- Amanda Water Scooter. $1,500 OBO
This is the real deal!! Barn fresh 1950's vintage Amanda water scooter. This one seems to be all there. Even what appears to be the original seat cushion. The engine appears to be capable of running. The only thing that I can tell is missing
is the rope that you pull to start her up. The gas tank looks perfectly clean inside and even the rubber gas cap is in great shape. There is no sign that gas was left in her when she was put away in a barn years ago. The engine was
manufactured by the Vincent Engine Company, LONDON, famous for Vincent motorcycles. This looks like a great setup, the engine directly drives a shaft to a propeller beneath the scooter. Even the propeller looks great with no dings. I have
not even wiped the dust off of this scooter, what you see is the way she has looked for 20 years. It has not been fussed with by anyone. The body of the craft looks great with no holes leaks or patches that I can see. I really do not know
anything more about these other than what I read in old motorcycle magazines. I hope someone can use this in their collection. It sure would be fun to see this baby going down the lake!!! I accept checks that clear, money orders, and paypal.
You can come pick it up or arrange shipping. I am happy to help ship at the buyers expense. If you have any easy questions please e-mail me and I will get back to you ASAP. Call Fred at (914) 234-6519 ext. 114 or Email alj4 at
