1949 VINCENT SERIES B BLACK SHADOW. "FULLY RESTORED TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD. THE BEST"

The bike of offer here is this, show quality, 1949 Vincent HRD "B" series Black Shadow. The bike has been restored to the very highest standard by legendary Marque specialist Harris Vincent Gallery. Vincent's post-war production began with the Series B, and approx. 2000 lower spec Rapids were produced; only 80 were the sporting specification Black Shadows; 'B Shadows' extraordinarily rare. Accompanying documents include 20 pages of parts invoices and labor invoices and 75 in-shop build photos. The restoration was undertaken with an open checkbook. Every part of this B Shadow was inspected, refurbished to as-new or replaced. All finishes are to works specification or better. Written number authenticity by the Vincent Owners Club (VOC) verifies that the Engine #F10AB1B1781 and Frame (UFM) #R3681B are the correct and original to the bike as a 1949 B Shadow; the Rear Frame Member (RFM) #R3137 is from a 1948 B Rapide all supplied to its original dealer CIMCS in Argentina. This is a truly stunning restoration, correct in every respect and should be seen to be appreciated. Please feel free to call 203 256 9800 or email Steven@ClassicCarGallery.com if we can answer any questions you may have. The bike has a clean New York Registration and has been titled as a 1948, but it is a 1949 B Shadow
