Terry Prince’s love for racing and Vincent motorcycles started In 1950 when Terry’s father took him, then 12 years old, to watch the Brighton speed trails, where George Brown was riding his Vincent-powered special, NERO. It was a day that was to affect the rest of young Terry’s life.

At the age of 16 Terry bought his first Vincent that he still races today. This Londoner embarked on a life’s work of engineering and manufacturing high performance parts for Vincent motorcycle racing.

Terry was an engineer for Fritz Egli, where he helped to create the Egli Vincent. The TPV was inspired by those machines.Now living in Australia for the past 30 years Terry owns and operates Classic Motor Bikes a high performance shop that people from around the world get their parts for racing.


From days of old, when knights were bold, and rode Iron Horses
