[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 36093, member: 109"] I had the pleasure of chatting to Stuart around April time this year, I recall it as then cause he rang me and I was at Stafford. He had sold the bike then. The new Owner didn't strike me as knowing much about Vincents at all bearing in mind the questions he had been ringing Stuart and asking him.....based on what I heard I wouldn't draw the conclusion that the new Owner would know what an "as built" Vincent looked like. Still, he paid the money (no-one else did) and it's his bike so I am sure he is perfectly at liberty to do whatever he wants with it.... I thought it a shame that the Museums had declined the bike when Stuart offered it to them......as ridden it surely was a piece of motorcycling history. I can see the 2098 headline "Original parts from the Stuart Jenkinson bike unearthed in Shed" and the text describing how the latest owner is trying to track down photos of how the bike looked in 2006 when last on a European Tour as he was aiming to restore it to that condition. Full circle...... What did it sell for? It looked cheap for £65 when I last looked........... Cheers [/QUOTE]
