[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 90887, member: 58"] PFC is an Oxford registration and they were issued in 1950. Oxford had two Vincent dealers who were Avery and Kings. Avery took 23 Vincent's but appeared to stop been a dealer around March 1949. Kings though was one of the biggest dealers of Vincent's in the UK. They had branches in Oxford, Manchester and Birmingham. Across all 3 locations Kings took at least 900 Vincent's. Their Oxford branch taking just over 400 Vincent's. Looking at the series B Meteors there was 126 made. Of these 106 were sold in the UK. Kings Oxford took 21 Meteors and of those 15 had PFC registrations. Date wise (not engine number order) the last 11 Meteors all went to Kings Oxford in May 1950 and as PFC was was the Oxford registration been used at the time that explains why PFC is common on Meteors. Why Kings took all the last Meteors I don't know. Maybe Vincent did a deal with them to take all the last Meteors so the factory could just concentrate on the Comet. Simon [/QUOTE]
