Swiss engineer Fritz Egli manufactured approximately 100 frame kits from 1967 to 1972 to modernize the Vincent V-twin motorcycles. The design features a large diameter top frame tube that also doubles as an oil reservoir. No two Eglis are alike: the suspension, brakes and bodywork were the choice of the builder. This version was construction in the museum restoration ship to reflect the spirit of the 1960s café racer cult.
