The chassis was radical for the era, using the engine as a stressed member-it could be said the Vincent had no frame at all- with castings for the steering head and swingarm that were unconnected. After World War II, Philip Vincent and Phil Irving revealed a total redesign of their motor as a unit-construction V-twin with a minimalist frame, Brampton girder forks and a 120 MPH top speed: the Series B.
Vincent-HRD built the fastest production motorcycles in the world from 1936-1973, originally starting with its Series A Rapide V-twin, which supplanted the Brough Superior SS100 as the top of the heap. This genuine Egli-Vincent is the hottest café racer ever built, with a British heart in a Swiss chassis that kept the Vincent name flying in competition and on the streets for decades after the factory closed.
