Click here to subscribeRegistration No: OAO 13 Frame No: RS4233 Engine No: MSS11624 CC: 500 MOT: ExemptOwned by a Velocette enthusiast for the last 29 yearsFitted with an Alton Electric Starter and 12v alternatorSupplied with a RF60, paperwork file, manuals and a V5CVelocettes were produced by Veloce Ltd in Hall Green, Birmingham between 1904 and 1971. Velocette was a family-owned firm selling almost as many hand-built motorcycles during its lifetime as the mass-produced machines from the likes of Triumph and Norton. Veloce, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs are commonplace on motorcycles today including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers. Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was "always in the picture" in international motorcycle racing from the mid 1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc World Championship titles and its legendary, and still-unbeaten, record of averaging over 100mph for 24 hours on a 500cc single cylinder machine. The MSS was the predecessor to the Venom and Thruxton models.This MSS was bought by the vendor, an engineer, in 1995 and restored and maintained by him for use on many rallies over the years, very often with his equally enthusiastic wife on the pillion. The bike has completed the Bromyard to Bangor Bash through Snowdonia National Park and the National Munster Trial, approx. 800 miles of mountain tracks and passes. In 2015 he fitted an Alton Electric Start and 12v Alternator kit so he could keep riding, a modification that would now cost over £2000. Unfortunately due to ill health he can no longer ride so its time to let someone else have the pleasure. Not run for a couple of years it will need some recommissioning and comes supplied with its original buff log book, a large paperwork file of invoices accumulated over the years, old MOTs, various manuals, parts removed when fitting the electric start kit and a current V5C.
