Thank you for posting. Do you by any chance know what the engine number is on this one?

I've just checked the factory records and there is no mention of unfinished castings or replacment engine/ crankcases etc. I know the crankcases you are referring to and those don't have any engine number stamped on them.

Not sure I would use the term 'liberated' in this case. It is a spectacular set-up and great historic value.
Thank you.
I understand. We are beyond lucky for the work that Simon has done and continue to support us all with.
Fact is though, that most if not all such data is covered in MPH over the years - including Joe Potts' Vincent adventures.
Most Engine Numbers are already out there , getting the mating number is a bit different
That is true, but look at it from another way. Most owners like to keep their bike details confidential, especially as there are those out there who wouldn’t think twice about cloning numbers. So the polite thing to do is to ask the owner before posting their numbers and if you don’t know the owner to ask then don’t post them. Now if the owner publishes the numbers in say a sales advert and then that advert gets discussed here then that’s a different matter.
Over the years as moderator of this forum I have been asked several times by an owner to remove or redact a post were someone else had listed their bikes numbers without permission.
