Someone earlier in this thread mentioned that this kit may be a cheaper alternative to buying genuine upper and rear frames off of eBay. I am pretty sure this kit runs at about $15 K so I am not sure about that previous statement. However, when I last spoke to Terry about this kit, his thoughts were aiming more at builders who are building specials with larger capacity engines, that can take advantage of using modern forks, wheel/tires and brakes. I can see the merit in it..... But which part of being a Vincent is it really trying to achieve....Not unlike an Irving Vincent or a Britten I guess.
