1951 Vincent Series C Black Shadow

This 1951 Vincent Black Shadow is a Series C model that left the factory on February 2, 1951 and was sold new by Indian Sales of San Francisco, California. Power is provided by a 998cc V-twin, which features an integrated 4-speed gearbox and is paired with its matching upper frame member. A cosmetic refurbishment was performed by Mike White shortly before the seller’s father-in-law purchased the bike in 2001. A 2019 service performed by Vincent Club organizer Dave Molloy included reinstalling the stock suspension and a general tune-up. This Black Shadow is now being offered with a Vincent HRD Owner’s Club Certificate of Authenticity, the factory rims, Thornton suspension kit, a history file, tools and spares, and a clear title in the seller’s name.
