1932 VINCENT HRD MODEL P.S


1932 VINCENT HRD MODEL P.S - vintage motorcycles - classic motorcycles - rare motorcycles



The P.S. or “Python Sport” refers to the most sporting of VINCENT in those very early years of the VINCENT company. The RUDGE motorcycle and wheel company needed business at this point owing to the Great Depression and found buyers among the many motor cycle builders of the day, VINCENT HRD among them. The engine is amazing. In 1932, RUDGE was producing a 4-valve engine of 500cc in this case with a most amazing way of opening valves using a very involved double rocker arm system. The variations were several with some having cylinder heads with fully radial valve locations, some with only the two exhaust ports being splayed (as on our P.S.) and so forth. Material as well varied with the most rare of the entire lot being the bronze head used on the ULSTER or tuned version. RUDGE men will tell you few bronze heads survive as most cracked due to casting flaws.

HRD Vincent Picador Drone Aircraft Engine
Vincent Picador Drone Aircraft Engine Vincent developed the Picador Drone engine supplying motors for the ML Aviation U120D target drone. The project was named ‘Picador project’ and the motor developed (Vincent Picador Drone Engine) need to pass the full power operation tests.

Though target drones have long been used by the military, in earlier years, they were far from being the sophisticated fliers we have today. It seems, sometime in WWII, Vincent tried to get a government contract supplying motors for the ML Aviation U120D target drone. The years involved are unclear because all references I found are a bit vague. The motor had to be capable of passing prolonged full power operation tests. This was called the Picador project. The Vincent motor was upgraded with a better crankshaft, Scintilla magneto, double speed oil pump and fuel injection. They did not get a contract.
