Looks like a Vincent Egli.

A friend of mine had a few of them decades ago, in various states of completion.

It is here in Finland. One of my relatives knows one older gentleman who builds/repairs bikes (as a hobby). He is specialized older English bikes.

This one is not yet ready as pictures shows. But he has sold some others earlier (old Nortons, BSAs etc.); so who knows. I just though this engine looked bit unique.

Vincents go for astronomical amounts of money, Egli Vincents even more so

They are works of engineering art

Thanks for publishing the pictures

May be Egli, people make Egli copies these days. Had a good reputation 50 odd years ago when most std frames apart from a fetherbed were shite. Today? well keepin the dream alive I guess like the engine.

Egli copy. May well be even better than the original. 1000euro-1500euro apparently depending on the spec.

Are you referencing FRITZ Egli? He built GS1100 Suzukis back in the day that used the engine as a stressed member, and they get 180 MPH. He was Eric Buell without the prevalent mistakes.
