Local collectors' worlds biggest Vincent museum.

Behind this armoured door is the entrance to a fascinating and very special private collection not too very far from THE CRANKCASE. in Germany.
Apparantly it's the biggest Vincent 'museum' in the world !
It is certainly one of the most interesting and comprehensive even if Kurt only collects series C Vincents !

But he doesn't only collect Vincents, they make up only a small part of what he has built up over many many years.

Read on to see just a few of the treasures that he kindly shows and explains to visitors.
