[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 16850, member: 586"] [b]How much?[/b] Jasper, the true value of the bike is what someone is prepared to pay. A C Rapide can be worth anything from well less than £20,000 to well over £30,000 depending on a wide variety of factors. Depending on how urgently you need to dispose of the machine you have several options; 1. have a major auction hose specialising in classic motorcycles appraise the machine and list it at their next sale, 2. Place it on e-bay with no reserve, 3. Advertise it for sale in a national motorcycle magazine. 4. Sell it to a recognised Vincent dealer (e.g. Conways). Be aware that there are wholesale & retail prices. Whereas Atlantic Motorcycle may sell a Rapide for £33,000 they probably paid the previous owner £26,000 or sold it on commission. Originality is highly prized so sell the machine in the most original condition you can, even if it looks a bit tatty. Good luck & I will offer you £200 for a quick sale.:p [/QUOTE]
