[QUOTE="davidd, post: 47687, member: 1177"] David, Thank you for the information. I thought it might be 250, but I was trying to remember the story. I think it was Peter Gerrish who found the bike under a pile of canvas tarps and boxes. Peter was desperate to rescue the bike. I think he had 100 Pounds. He spent a considerable time soliciting everyone he knew in the Club arguing that this was the most important Vincent one could imagine. Nobody came up with the balance, which was, as you say, 250 Pounds. This was in the 1960's and I think he wrote a letter to MPH that conveyed his disappointment. David [/QUOTE]
