1966 Egli-Vincent JMC. 1200cc V-Twin
1966 Egli-Vincent JMC. 1200cc V-Twin
Not only is this the iconic combination of the Egli frame paired with a Vincent engine, it is also the very first 1200cc Egli-Vincent to be build by well-respected Engineer John Mossey of JMC with the head steady plate bearing the number stamping JMC 0101. This is confirmed in writing by John Mossey.
John Mossey has been building superb, Vincent engined specials, Norvin and Egli-Vincent, for nearly two decades now and is the only official UK builder of this iconic Café Racer first created by Swiss Fritz Egli in 1966/1967.
The Egli-Vincent would bring a new lease of life for the Vincent engine, especially for fast roadwork and racing in the 1960s and 1970s.
Fritz Egli took the Swiss Hill Climb Championship Title in 1968 mounted on an Egli-Vincent and in the subsequent years he convincingly took the title in 1969, 1970 and 1971 with other riders mounted on the Egli-Vincent.
This Egli-Vincent is in superb condition throughout with a build quality that is second to none. Build in 2012 using a newly produced Vincent engine housed in a Egli replica frame build to the specification of John Mossey.
The electric start is effortless to use and brings the beast to life literally on the button.
A Smiths 5inch Black Shadow speedo and additional Smiths rev counter completes the cockpit at the front together with fully adjustable clip-ons.
Two front cylinder heads are fitted, exactly as on the Vincent Black Lightning, positioning both carburetors on the left side.
The owner had a new alloy petrol tank fabricated replicating the original Egli-Vincent “banana” shape and at the same time added an Egli racer seat with alloy base and an alloy front mudguard.
The original black and gold lined JMC petrol tank in alloy and seat/mudguard in glassfibre comes with the bike. As does the signature JMC exhaust system; Hydroformed silencer and two-into one exhaust pipes. The battery/side covers are also present with the bike but not fitted.
Owned and ridden regularly by its engineer owner since 2015, the Egli-Vincent is ready to be enjoyed on the road.
The Egli-Vincent is registered as a 1966 model with current EU registration documents and comes with aforementioned spares.
