thirties, 250-, 350- and 500-c.c. singles with own o.h.c. engines were built; after the

war, mostly two-strokes, including a very sporting 250-c.c. vertical-twin, left the

works. Rider-designer Ing. Drusiani was also with C.M."

replacement parts and eventually new Norton models. The venture eventually

required capital and was bought by Stuart Garner who intends to return production to

the United Kingdom.

name to Vincent HRD. In 1949, Vincent HRD was renamed Vincent. Production of

Vincent stopped in 1955. In 1994, Bernard Li acquired the rights to the Vincent

trademark, and in 1996 formed Vincent Motors, USA. Vincent Motors, USA, made 5

prototype motorcycles in 2002. The engine used in these motorcycles has since gone

out of production and Mr. Li has since died. It is therefore not likely that series

production will begin.
