Noted this on ebay a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd pop back to see how much it went for
Then digging around a bit more
Surely nothings that rare.

They did sell rather well, thanks for posting those Nick, I didn't spot either of them. I see this fetched a few quid too

Ah, well, it has the magic word "Vincent" written on it. I kid you not, tool kit spanners sell for tens of pounds each and a *reconditioned* standard tyre pump fetched eighty quid recently.
You know the 5" Black Shadow speedos? They always reach £500 & a new old stock one sold last year for £755.00.
A very nice Shadow fetched $65,000 at auction last week in Las Vegas.
No, we are not in the wrong hobby, at least there is sense still to be found in it occasionally.

I didn't think the Vincent effect extended to their industrial engines, and equipment powered thereby, they normally seem to be regarded with mild interest perhaps selling for a small premium over the JAP or Villiers engined equivalent, viz the £60 Versatiller at Enstone.
That was certainly the case until this year, but the effect of stuff selling on EvilBay is dragging the prices up. Added to which, the compressors are so rare they are Endangered!
