[QUOTE="Horatioqbirdbath, post: 22213, member: 2429"] Dear Forumists, I'm brand new to your Club as a visitor and wonder if any Members can help. My late father was a keen motorcyclist from 1930 until around 1950 and had ten different 'bikes of which I know a lot about his Sunbeam and a little about his Vincent HRD. I have pictures of his bike and tonight, happened to do a very casual search of the UK DVLA Registration records. You will now guess that I was stunned to see his Vincent still appears on their records! So..does anyone know the whereabouts of his Vincent HRD, CWL 512 first reg'd in Oxford (almost guaranteed to be from King's of Oxford the motorcycle dealers) on 7th February 1936 and last taxed on 1st October 1995 please? It does not appear to be on SORN, the registration is not transferred so I'm hoping that it is in preservation somewhere. If anyone has any ideas I should be most grateful! I have a picture but will have to do a little work to get the URL to post it here. I'm a member of the VSCC forum and we have to do the same thing on our pages! If the current owner reads this, then I can fill in a fair amount of it's early history! Incidentally, his 1935 Sunbeam 95R still survives and now has complete history from delivery to date with just a six week gap in 1950! Thank you for reading this, Richard Leaman Bristol UK [/QUOTE]
