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.

The property of a great Vincent enthusiast, this 1972 Egli Comet was bought by the vendor in 1985, in which time it has seen action at a number of sprint meetings. At some stage in the past, it was dismantled and placed into storage, and hence appears now in a dismantled condition seeking a sympathetic restorer. All the parts supplied with this rare racing special appear in the photographs, along with an old-style V5. Offered at no reserve, it represents a fantastic opportunity for a restorer or a racer to take on.
