PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been informed that Karmann purpose-built 207 examples of the CSi to right-hand drive specification. Previous RHD 3.0 CSi cars were built to left-hand drive specification and then converted to right-hand drive by Karmann prior to distribution among BMW's RHD dealer network. In summary BMW sold more than 207 RHD 3.0 CSi cars with earlier examples beginning life as left-hand drive shells.PLEASE NOTE: This lot failed its Autolign Inspection due to the following: (1) 'Cosmetic Exterior Panel Repairs', (2) 'Some high spot body filler repair readings to both offside and nearside 'A' and 'B' posts. Same area needs further investigation', (3) 'Rear Service brakes inefficient below MOT minimum standard' and (4) 'Rear Panel MIG / Gas welded to boot floor with open seam work'. A copy of the Autolign Inspection Report is available to view in the Documents' Office. Since the inspection was carried out the vendor has had the rear service brakes adjusted and the recommended welding attended to. He has not investigated the 'A' and 'B' posts because he did not want to disturb the paintwork / associated trim. - Extensively restored and upgraded with BMW M5 engine (estimated 325bhp), gearbox and differential- Later-type front seats, power steering, Alpina wheels, electric windows- MOT'd till February 2017Just 207 RHD examples of the Karmann-bodied 3.0 CSi are thought to have been UK supplied. According to an accompanying letter from BMW (UK) Ltd, this particular example was manufactured on August 30th 1973. Originally finished in Fjord Blue, it was the subject of an insurance total loss payment during July 1991. The reason why is unknown. However, it seems highly improbable that the CSi suffered any major structural damage if only because of its subsequent transformation. Acquired by classic car restorer and race preparer Costa Ouloupis as a personal project in 2005, the BMW became a labour of love that took some six years to complete. Stripped bare, the bodyshell was refurbished with a replacement bonnet, front panel, boot lid, doors and front wings. Repainted in its initial Fjord Blue livery, it then received a drivetrain transplant from an E34-series BMW M5. No stranger to the Munich firm's machinery, Mr Ouloupis overhauled the DOHC straight-six with Shrik camshafts so that it developed an estimated 325bhp. Utilising the same donor vehicle's close-ratio five-speed manual gearbox and limited slip differential seemed prudent as did installing Bilstein suspension and vented disc brakes hidden behind period 16-inch Alpina alloys (the latter being the only external clue to the Coupe's much enhanced turn of speed). Chosen for their greater comfort and support, the E34-series M5 also donated its Beige leather seats to the project. A real wolf in designer sheep's clothing, `TLN 501M' is understood to have covered circa 3,000 miles since its refurbishment / upgrading was completed. Still highly presentable, it seemingly offers the best of both worlds; classic styling allied to modern high performance. Passing its last MOT certificate on February 12th 2016 with no advisories, the vendor has arranged for the BMW to undergo an HPi-approved Autolign inspection so as to reassure any potential purchasers (www.autolign-inspections.co.uk).

When the Series 'A' HRD was announced to the press in October 1936, it caused a sensation by being the fastest production vehicle available for sale to the public at the time. The decision to fit two of the well proven HRD Meteor cylinders onto a common crankcase was an inspiration which formed the basis for the renowned series of 'B', 'C' and 'D' Vincent twins that followed and remained in production until 1955. All of these models are highly sought after of course but none are as rare as the Series 'A' twins, the last of which were made in 1939. Only 78 of these bikes were produced between 1936 and the summer of 1939, and it is estimated of these just 50 survive today. Nicknamed the 'plumbers nightmare' because of all of its external oil pipes the Series-A Rapide produced 45bhp at 5,500 rpm from a 998cc V-twin. It hit top speeds of 110mph, making it one of the fastest bikes of its generation.The particular example on offer is an amazingly rare and original survivor having been carefully stored in recent years. Not only do the frame and engine numbers match but even the gearbox, oil pump and magneto numbers still conform to those on the original Works Order Sheet as does the colour of the tank.Details of the motorcycle are known to the Vincent HRD Owner's Club and it is unique amongst Series 'A' twins as being the only example that was photographed with Phil Vincent aboard! This appeared in an article in 'The Motorcycle' in September 1940 which was reprinted in the VOC magazine 'MPH' issue 193 in February 1965.By 1988 the bike was discovered with Brian Verrall of Tooting as a non-runner in need of restoration. It was purchased by long term Vincent enthusiast and former Series 'A' Meteor owner Bill Cakebread by part exchanging his Black Shadow. It was then totally rebuilt by Bill over the next few years and sold back to Verralls in 1993. This famous dealership then sold it to a customer in Japan where it has remained in a private collection until discovered by the present owner and recently returned to the UK.The registration number CUP 660 was briefly and incorrectly allocated to another replica machine but thanks to records held by a previous owner and support from the DVLA, the number has now been restored to its rightful place. This is all verified by the documentation file which accompanies the machine.This represents a unique opportunity to acquire a most original and genuine 'Superbike' from the pre-war era that can still provide an exhilarating ride or grace any serious collector's stable.This extremely special Vincent is offered with Swansea V5C document, Vincent HRD Owner's Club dating certificate (issued February 2016) and a copy of its Works Order Form.
