I read this ad,and it reads to me as if these are only supplied to the trade.BUT! I would like to see one close up. Is this price only for a quantity sale.
There was a Vincent tank on Ebay a while ago and that was being sold as it would not fit over the UFM if I remember correctly.Could that be an Indian job? I believe that BSA and other tanks from India are pretty good.
I have seen Vincent tanks being made in a specialist workshop,this man is putting a new top in a tank for me, and they are assembled in a taylor-made jig. John

Hmm, interesting. Wassell's have had a Vincent tank in their catalogue for some time but always comes up as "not currently available".

Well, the Ebay pictures looked good, it sold for £375.00, and no evidence if this was anything to do with EVERSURE. I did e-mail the seller, he was not very forthcoming, but did confirm that the tank was not as marketed by the VOCSC. It appeared to be a private sale. Would be nice if the buyer let us know all about it.
