Highlights

Egli-Vincent configuration featuring a genuine 1,000cc Black Shadow V-twin engine
Restored approximately 20 years ago
Stored indoors in a dry, domestic environment since restoration
Collectable combination of Egli chassis and Vincent power

The Appeal

The Egli-Vincent is one of the most celebrated configurations in the world of classic motorcycles, marrying Fritz Egli's tubular steel chassis with the legendary Vincent Black Shadow V-twin, a powerplant widely regarded as the heart of the world's first superbike. These machines attract a devoted following among serious collectors and enthusiasts for their combination of iconic Vincent character with improved chassis rigidity and handling.

This particular example houses a genuine 1,000cc Black Shadow engine (number F10AB/1B/7534) and was restored approximately 20 years ago. Since that work was completed, it has been kept indoors in the vendor's home, stored in dry conditions throughout. The vendor states the motorcycle looks "like a work of art." Offered for sale due to the vendor's need to relocate, this Egli-Vincent presents an opportunity to acquire a collectable machine that has been carefully preserved since its rebuild.
