[QUOTE="Len Matthews, post: 2998, member: 178"] As is well known, Cope Allman (the successors to Harper Engines) put a questionaire in "Motorcycle Sport" inviting readers to suggest what changes/improvements they would like to see should the Vincent be put back on the market. There was a rumour that two complete Series D engines were taken to a frame builder named Jim Lee who was commissioned to construct a rolling chassis. The story goes that one complete machine was built and shipped to the US. The existance of the remaining engine became known to local Vincent owners who persuaded Jim Lee to sell bits of it until nothing was left. Fact or fantasy? :confused: [/QUOTE]
