Hello I'm trying to identify the vin numbers on an elderly friends Comet. Front frame is RC.1.18840.C Rear frame is RC.1.9520 Engine number F5AB/2A/4255 Gearbox G97F50 Any help greatly appreciated. cheers....Simon.
Thankyou Peter. I knew it's was built up but didn't know what was what. It's quite a nice bike and is currently for sale here in Australia. Good luck with the Series A front frame. Hens teeth I suspect. All the best.Simon,
The engine gearbox units are from 1950, but the 2 x frames are from 2 different donor Comets probably both of 1951 vintage.
By the way, I suspect you have one too many 'figure ones' in your first frame number. It probably should read RC/1/8840/C.
