A beautifully preserved 1953 Vincent Rapide offers an enticing opportunity for classic motorcycle enthusiasts. This British-made icon, part of the renowned Series C models, was meticulously restored by its seller's father in the early 80s and enjoyed riding it briefly before storing it again as a disassembled project. Now reunited with its enthusiast owner since 2007, this rare Rapide retains its original black livery and carries an appealing patina of age on its chrome details. The legendary 499cc V-twin engine is dormant but ready for revival, promising responsive power delivery once it roars back to life. Currently residing in Boise, Idaho, this historically significant machine awaits its next custodian, offering them the chance to own and preserve a piece of British motorcycling history that's turned heads since 1953.
