IT'S GOTTA BE RIGHT We only sell signs that we hang on our own walls. If you have a problem with anything you buy from Sump, tell us and we'll sort it out. Pronto. No fuss. No arguments. from £11.99 plus P&P Vincent Engineers (Stevenage) Ltd, of Stevenage, Hertfordshire produced the illustrious Rapide between 1936 and 1955. Although if you want to be pedantic, the earlier bikes were manufactured by Vincent HRD Ltd. Philip Conrad Vincent had bought the HRD company from Howard R Davies in 1928 and attached his name to it. Hence Vincent HRD. But later, as his own monicker assumed dominance, the initials HRD were dropped and the firm was renamed. Regardless, the Rapide was a milestone in motorcycle history. And like the Model T Ford, they were all supplied in black. Except that they weren't. They were actually offered in any colour the customer wanted, and although black was the more typical livery, the factory manufactured them in white, maroon, blue, grey and even bright red, as shown here (and you thought it was a General Post Office telegram bike, huh?). You might argue that all Vincents should have been green, because that's the colour many of us see when we look at a Rapide, Black Shadow, Comet, Meteor or Grey Flash. Green. Deep green. But if you just want to admire a Vincent without having the burdensome responsibility of ownership, or if you do actually own one, we're offering this metal sign to adorn whichever wall you spend most of your life facing.
The size is a generous 300mm x 410mm, which is roughly the size of two A4 sheets of paper. The image is 1400 dpi, which is way better than most, if not all, of the lesser quality stuff on the market. And the edges are folded to help preserve those delicate finger nails. Also, these Vincent Rapide signs are printed direct to metal in the traditional way. Will you like it when you see it? We think so. If we didn't, we wouldn't be flogging 'em. We package these signs as well as we reasonably can, and we despatch as soon as possible (usually within 24 hours of ordering, and very rarely longer than 2-3 days if stock has run out and needs to be re-supplied). Either way, we'll keep you posted. And if for any reason we can't supply your sign, we'll tell you without unnecessary delay and will refund your money in full.
