Vincent’s glorious 1,000cc V-twin had a long life after production ended in 1955, with racers buying them and adapting them for all sorts of disciplines, from circuit and sidecar-racing to grass track and drag racing. The original frames, though, of which the engines formed a part, were not so adaptable, so later special-builders had to source or make their own. Swiss racer Fritz Egli did exactly that – he placed a Rapide V-twin into his own frame design and had such success that, from 1968, he started producing frames for other racers. It handled well and proved so competitive that the Egli name is now almost synonymous with racing Vincents.

This exceptional Egli-Vincent was built to the vendor's specification in 2022 by JMC Classics using Ceriani 38mm forks, alloy fork yokes and fuel tank, an Avon fairing, 34mm Dell’Orto PHB carburettors, twin plug heads, fully gas-flowed heads, Pazon 12v ignition, a five-speed short shift gearbox, V2 clutch, electric start, Dalton alternator, 9:1 compression ratio, Fontana 250mm front and 210mm rear brakes… and more. The famous black and gold of the Vincent Black Shadow completes it beautifully. In the current ownership, the Egli has covered a mere 177 miles and is described by the vendor as 'like new' and ‘ready to use’. It is accompanied by the current V5C, which gives 1969 as the year of manufacture and registration, a build invoice, some build photos, a dust cover and a paddock stand.

“Rarely is a café racer classed as comfy, but the position is perfect for me… It steers lightly, precisely and quickly – like a modern sportsbike… It’s among the best of any bikes I’ve ever ridden, old or new.” – Classic Bike Guide, April, 2018
