Description
1937 Velocette 249cc MOV Registration no. CFD 355 Frame no. MD6305 Engine no. M4022 (see text) In 1933 Veloce Limited augmented its overhead-camshaft range with an overhead-valve 250 - the MOV - that would spawn an entirely new range of OHV singles. The newcomer's engine was a 'high-camshaft' design with enclosed valves, and the compact and sprightly machine featured a four-speed gearbox equipped with the company's new foot-change mechanism. The following year an overhead-valve 350 built along MOV lines appeared. This was the long-stroke MAC, subsequently bored out to create the 500cc MSS. Post-war, Velo's overhead-valve trio continued much as before, with rigid frames and - initially - Webb girder forks. The MOV was dropped at the end of 1948. This MOV was purchased by the late owner over 30 years ago, it's believed to have been stored and not used in over 25 years, therefore it is sold strictly as viewed and offered for recommissioning or restoration, the engine does turn over. It should be noted that the RF60 logbook states an engine change to the current engine in 1970. Offered with the aforementioned RF60 logbook, old style V5 and expired MoTs. Key not required Footnotes: All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
