Synopsis:
"Speed is Expensive" brings to the screen one of the most dramatic stories in automotive history - the rise and fall of designer Philip Vincent. His motorcycles set more speed records during the 1940's and 50's than any other manufacturer. Some models now sell for over $1 million, and owners include Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds. Yet when Vincent passed away in 1979, he was largely unrecognised, penniless, and living in council housing in West London. This is his story. Narrated by Ewan McGregor.
