Are there any estimates around as to the number of Vincents still known to exist? If so, are there breakdowns by series, model, country of current residence etc? Just curious.
Then of course we have the Black Lightning and Grey Flash which we as a club are very lucky as the survival rate on those is at least 150% and increasing.

I believe looking at membership location in the VOC it is approx 60% UK based so that may hint as to how many of what has survived is in U.K. but that is just an approximation and I don't know about membership in other countries. To work it out via countries would take a lot of time assuming it's even possible and the fact that not all owners tell the VOC what they own would invalidate those figures.So although there's a wide international dispersal of these bikes, I'd imagine the majority are in the UK. I do wonder how the figures break down by country or at least by continent.
Unfortunately Bill the bike needs to be finished to get a registration. If you have no flywheels then would an electric motor fit inside the crankcases and so have the first electric Vincent. The was a big discussion on the forum about motor / generators.Plus another "D" ish Comet.
Simon, Does it need a set of Flywheels and be able to Run, To get a Number Plate.
Cheers Bill.
