Phil's Vincati boasts a French-made Alton altenator and Boyer electronic ignition. This particular marriage was apparently made in heaven, because it benefits both the Vincent and Ducati owner!




1948 Vincent-HRD

This workhorse machine was assembled from parts - the donor engine came from a Cooper race car, and is bored and stroked to 1200 cc, providing ample power to haul the Tilbrook double adult sidecar. As Phil says: "it pulls like a schoolboy!"




1951 Comet trials

Another engine rescued from a Cooper car provided the basis for the Comet trials bike, together with a lot of Triumph parts from the back of the shop.
The engine, gearbox and headstock are Vincent. The rear subframe was hand-fabricated to hold a Bonneville swing arm.
