[QUOTE="TouringGodet, post: 16391, member: 27"] A minor point, but that is a relatively low engine number, and early dispatch date of June 1951, to have a 'Vincent Engineers' Mercury Crest transfer. I see that quite often, people seem to forget there is more than one type of Vincent scroll Mercury Crest. Very few Series C machines, perhaps 100 or so, where actually built late enough to have that transfer. Engine numbers in the 98xx range were built in 1952, and I believe those bikes likely did not have that transfer either. When did Vincent officially change name to 'Vincent Engineers', some time in 1953, wasn't it? [/QUOTE]
