This pictorial history of the Vincents, arguably the best British motorcycles ever produced, traces their development from the 1930s onwards, through the "golden age" of the late '40s and early '50s, until the company ceased cycle production in 1955 The book is illustrated with colour photographs of surviving models, many still in use.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Vincent (1994) by Duncan Wherrett Osprey Classic Motorcycles | ISBN: 9781855323308 Condition: Good, with some fading to the spine area As sold by Crappy Old Books There are motorcycles, and then there are Vincents : machines spoken of in tones normally reserved for Spitfires, grand pianos, and slightly alarming aristocrats. They belong to that rare class of mechanical object which has escaped mere usefulness and entered the realm of legend, where engineering, speed, beauty, and a certain amount of ownerly obsession all meet in happy combustion. Duncan Wherrett?s Vincent is devoted to precisely this phenomenon. Published in 1994 as part of the Osprey Classic Motorcycles series, this is the sort of compact, handsome volume that performs a civilising service for enthusiasts: it gathers together the story, character, and significance of a truly iconic marque in a form one can actually sit down and enjoy, rather than requiring an entire shed, three club newsletters, and a lifelong acquaintance with tappet clearances. It is, in short, Vincent lore in manageable quantity. The appeal of Vincent motorcycles has always gone well beyond straightforward transport. No one buys into Vincent history because they merely wish to arrive somewhere. One buys into Vincent because the machines represent a kind of peak mechanical romance: speed with elegance, engineering with bravado, and British ambition in metal form. These were motorcycles built in an age when manufacturers still seemed faintly determined to terrify the future by getting there first. Wherrett?s book is likely to take the reader through the development of the Vincent marque, the major models, the engineering innovations, and the qualities that made these machines objects of near-devotional admiration among riders and collectors alike. It belongs to that excellent genre of motoring writing which does not merely list specifications, but understands that machines acquire myth because of what they make people feel. A Vincent is never just a motorcycle. It is an opinion. And what an opinion. The very name carries weight in the motorcycling world. Even readers who have never ridden one will know the aura: speed records, Black Shadows, post-war glamour, polished alloy, and the faint suspicion that to own such a thing is to become custodian of a highly sophisticated mechanical temperament. Vincent enthusiasts are not casual people. They are the sort of people who can discuss frame design over lunch and still feel they have barely scratched the surface. As part of the Osprey series, this volume also has that appealingly well-bred format: informative, well illustrated, and designed for readers who like their enthusiasm organised. It is the kind of book that sits very well on a shelf near workshop manuals, auction catalogues, and autobiographies by men who once designed very fast things with slide rules. Equally, it can be read perfectly happily in an armchair by someone whose own riding now takes place mostly in memory and theory. This copy is in good condition , with some fading to the spine area . That seems entirely forgivable in a book about Vincent motorcycles. After all, a little visible age in the right place often adds to the atmosphere. The important thing is that it remains sound, presentable, and thoroughly readable, with plenty of life left in it for another admirer of classic motorcycling. A fine choice for collectors of motorcycle books, Vincent enthusiasts, British engineering devotees, or anyone who enjoys that glorious chapter of motoring history when motorcycles were designed not merely to function, but to astonish. Vincent is a tidy tribute to an untidy kind of greatness: fast, handsome, ingenious, and still perfectly capable of causing reverence decades after the engines cooled. N� de r�f. du vendeur 6003
