RIDERS HANDBOOK WITH BIRMINGHAM ADDRESS ?
- Thread starter kerry
- Start date
Holder/Vellocette bought a lot of Vincent rights and drawings (and still makes some parts for the Vincent) the Club felt his price for the drawings was to high and they were twenty + years old evem back then so the drawing project was born. Lots of drawings re drawn and were brought up to date and lots were donated from good friends of the club like Bob Culver and others
As I understand it, no Company name, Vincent "rights", or Trademarks, were acquired by Matt Holder, merely the remaining stock, tooling and drawings.
Some time later, he registered purely the word VINCENT in the motor vehicles category. Which meant other people needed permission to make parts for motor vehicles [only] with the word Vincent on them. If they have no word on them; like say a Bottom link, no permission is needed.
Somebody else may have the word registered in another category; say clothing.
As for Bob Culver, he and others who wished to remain anonymous, have never been given proper recognition for the Rosetta-like wealth they donated to the drawings project.

Does anyone know what the first addition looks like. Is that the prewar owners hand book or was there an earlier B addition.
This is a Second Edition of the post war handbook. Later issues had the date as well as the edition number.
This is my early issue 1st edition? You might notice in the top right written "Richardson Service Dept" this is Paul Richardson's personal copy.

I've seen two "Preliminary Editions" here in Victoria. Green cover and no illustrations.
