[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 104370, member: 597"] Your all panicking over nothing...........The difference in value of a matching numbers Rapide over a non matching is not that big a deal. So long as all the parts are original and in good condition, and not from stolen bikes that is all that maters. If you genuinely want a matching numbers bike then you and you alone need to have done enough research into what the numbers mean and be able to recognize numbers that have been re-stamped, or do not match up. My own rapide came from the States, and was bought as a non matching machine, early die cast engine in a series "B" frame with Girdraulics.........It is however a very original machine with all the original hardware and parts. Aside the numbers and mismatch of engine/frames it could hold it's own in any Vincent Concourse for originality. [/QUOTE]
