Sorry but its a series C with RC frame number. Just because its HRD doesn't make it series B as the change from HRD to Vincent had nothing to do with the different series. The first 7 months of series C were all HRD.A “B”, not a “C”
Very suspect numbers and paperwork. Some would say fraudulent and fake. You need to look at good, honest machines to compare prices and also where and when the sales are taking place. I am brokering a sale of a Rapide that is a total bitsa BUT the engine is good. Looking at about the equivalent of £26-28,000. Last year I assisted in a sale of a very nice and original C Rapide for £37,000.The Rapide in Mathewsons auction only reached £28000, Prices are falling for sure ?
