The Vincent in the Barn: Great Stories of
Motorcycle Archaeology by Tom Cotter
It's every motorcyclist's dream. A
friend or acquaintance says, "You know, there's an old bike thats been
sitting in this garage for years." The hunt is on. And rather than the
usual worthless Hondazukimaha pile of hopeless oxidation, at the back of
that barn you find a genuine classic, the motorcycle collector's dream.
The Vincent in the Barn tells forty such stories—tales of
motorcycle hunting dreams come true. From Ducatis in basements to
Vincents abandoned in sheds, Harleys in barns to Brit bikes moldering
behind urban garages, these are the stories that fuel every
motorcyclist's fantasies. The only difference? They're true.

beginning of the Twentieth century and explores the design and
production of each one of the Stevenage firms models. Complete with
detailed specifications, archive illustrations and
specially-commissioned color photography, this book is a fitting tribute
to one of the gems of the late British Motorcycle Industry. Hardbound,
