hi, new to the forum so Happy New Year to all!
I recently picked up A Tank/top tube on ebay that the vendor thought was ex- Vincent sprinter. I'd seen one like it a couple of times at the Newark auto-jumble and thought it looked interesting but didn't want to pay the £75 asking price as it had some damage. Was watching this one on ebay and managed to miss the end of the sale.I happened to be watching Henry Cole's "shed and buried" on T.V. where he got hold of the "quarter master" sprint bike which reminded me of it so i checked the listing to see that it hadn't sold.I contacted the vendor who kindly re-listed it for me and i bought it for £35 plus the postage.
When i unpacked it i recognised the marker pen description on it as the one i'd seen at Newark!( i was meant to have it!).
Does anyone know anything about it? The layout certainly looks like some of the Vincent engined sprinters although it looks like it's been modified as some of the Bronze welding was obviously done after it was plated.I'd like to do something with it but would like to know if it rings a bell with anyone first.
