Sorry should have mentioned stamped along side the G Brown is CB and 03.
I suppose the CB is Cliff Brown ?

Lost for now... one hopes. Even at the bikes' lowest ebb of values, few Vincents - especially twins - have been junked. The reputation has helped survival rates.
I was in communication with someone the other month (and for the life of me cannot remember who) and he said he knew of one in Portland Oregon.
wow! if it is not home made, could be the third one!
or may be, 03 stands for thrid Nero replica?
Not sure what this means. Like I e said I’ve got the factory build sheet and everything is original on the bike. It went via the Lightening shop and was supposed to Race in 51 with Frank Taylor. He went back in 53 but for some reason went home without racing. Can’t find much about the bike after. Not sure when the G Brown stamps etc was added ?
Well, possible there was cross-fertilisation between Brown and the factory - even if he'd fallen out with Vincent, which he had. George left, slamming Vincent's door harshly, but his shop was just across the road.
