Where do they keep finding these neglected rare old bikes?

1951 Vincent Comet Barn find 💙🇬🇧💙

The 1951 Vincent Comet Series C is a classic British motorcycle known for its robust single-cylinder engine, innovative engineering, and respectable performance for its era. Though less powerful than its famous V-twin siblings like the Black Shadow, the Comet served as the foundation for those bikes and was a highly regarded model in its own right. Today, it is a rare and sought-after collector's item. The Comet features a 499cc (500cc), air-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke overhead-valve (OHV) engine. In 1951, it was the Series C model, which was based on the post-war revision of the Meteor engine and capable of around 28 horsepower.
Valve design: A unique valve arrangement with two guides per valve and a forked rocker arm was designed to increase valve longevity and stability, particularly at high engine speeds.
