[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 103955, member: 58"] 1949 was a very confusing year Vincent wise. Not only was the new series C coming into production, but the factory changed from HRD to Vincent and also a lot of design improvements were introduced which were nothing to do with any specific series and used on series B & C at the same time. There was actually an 18 month overlap when the factory were making series B & series C side by side. The defining difference is the front forks which determines the series (along with the frame number) and yes I'm sure somebody will point out that there was the odd bike now and again that broke those rules. The first series C was made in December 1948. The last series B was made in May 1950. Simon [/QUOTE]
