Vincent HRD Rapide 1948 on eBay - original patina

I've seen a few restored models at auction lately, so it's nice to see a 'roughie' - probably sell for more than the restored units too the way it's going... here's the jump:

Indian Blue & Cycle Headz Magazine

I seem to associate Indian twins emotionally with this colour blue. The 48 Scout is a particular fave, and there's a great CYCLE HEADZ (Jap bike mag) edition featuring the Indians - well worth purchasing if you are a fan. I got mine from Kinokuniya book shop in Sydney, but also available online: http://cycletrash67.blogspot.com/2010/11/cycle-headz-4.html
