2) Auctions America with a Black Shadow and a Rapide (as described by Eric)
3) Mid America Auctions with 4 Comets, a Black Shadow and a Rapide.
Thats a lot of Vincents in one weekend.

One things for sure they aint beeing ridden anywhere
Hmmm, I had not considered that there were multiple auctions in one week end.. My comments on the condition of the bikes deal only with the DuPont collection which looked like it had not been tended to in a while...As punishment I will banish myself to the garage for the next 3 days with nothing to do but maintenance on the BMWs..
