(to commence at approximately 2.00pm)<br />
The following lots (1300 - 1307) are consigned from the estate of the late Jeffrey Frost. A lifelong rider, enthusiast and time served<br />
mechanic, Jeff was a successful Grass Track racer with the Lowestoft Invaders on board Rudge and Norton machines amongst<br />
others. Many of the machines offered will have lifelong Norfolk provenance and hold many memories for his family.<br />

All lots are sold strictly as seen without warranty, purchasers are urged to satisfy themselves<br />
prior to the sale as to the condition of each lot and whether the lot accords with its description.<br />
1300 1950 500cc Vincent Comet<br />
Reg No. PFC 464<br />
Frame No.RC/1/5751<br />
Engine No.F5AB/2A/3851<br />
Despatched from the factory on the<br />
5th April 1950, the pre-registered<br />
Comet went to Kings dealership in<br />
Oxford however, it is likely to have<br />
been in the current ownership since<br />
close to that moment in time. The<br />
Smiths speedometer on its modified<br />
mount displays just 40,743 miles<br />
and the only obvious deviation from<br />
standard is the vents fitted to the<br />
front drums. Importantly the upper<br />
and lower frames match and all of<br />
the relevant numbers match the<br />
original factory works sheet which<br />
has been verified by the Vincent<br />
Owners Club. Presented in nice<br />
original ‘as used’ condition, the last<br />
road fund license expired in<br />
December 2009 and the Comet is<br />
supplied with current V5<br />
documentation.<br />
Estimate £8,000 - £10,000<br />
1301 1935 250cc Rudge 250 Sports<br />
Reg No. PV 2471<br />
Frame No.54024<br />
Engine No.T748<br />
Clearly a work in progress, the radial<br />
head, four valve, twin port Rudge<br />
had been in Jeff’s long term<br />
ownership and, as viewed, the tank<br />
and bars were only loosely<br />
assembled. Comparison with archive<br />
images would indicate that all of the<br />
major components are substantially<br />
correct in appearance, the rear<br />
brake linkage has been recently<br />
manufactured as has one of the<br />
high level silencers. An extremely<br />
rare Rudge model, this is an<br />
opportunity to restore and return to<br />
standard a rapid 250cc machine that<br />
has the Rudge racing heritage, still<br />
bearing a 1957 tax disc and supplied<br />
with current V5 documentation.<br />
Estimate £2,000 - £3,000
