[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 96553, member: 58"] The numbers on the bike don't appear on the stolen list, but the problem is the numbers don't appear to be Vincent factory stampings so the original identity has been lost. Its currently marked up as a Shadow, but who knows what it left the factory as. Even I cannot work out exactly what it was originally. You have to ask why have the numbers been altered? Usually its to turn a bike into "matching numbers" or to make a Rapide a Shadow or Lightning etc, but there is the possibility the parts are from a stolen bike and its identity was deliberately destroyed. Again the only person who knows is the culprit who did the alterations. Simon [/QUOTE]
