Chasing Classic Cars episode has 2 Vincents

[TouringGodet]

The latest episode of Wayne Carini's show has the story of 2 Vincents, a 1951 Black Shadow and a Black Prince. The owner died a year or two ago, and the family called Wayne. Sounds like the owner had both bikes since the late 60's early 70's. The bikes were 20 miles away from Wayne's shop in Portland Connecticut. The Black Prince has "Frustration" on the side of the cowling. Wayne made a deal to acquire both bikes. Anyone know more about these bikes?

The late owner was a VOC member until a couple of years ago. Both bikes are known about.

Apologies for bringing back an old thread, but I just discovered that the Black Prince with "Frustration" on the cowl was at the 1982 Shadow Lake rally, owned at that time by Tom Draus.
