Renowned for the quality of its products, Velocette 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 KSS featured an overhead camshaft engine that was quite rare in a road bike at the time and formed the basis of the championship-winning KTTs. The Velocette KSS/ KTS was one of the most popular sporting middleweight motorcycles of the 1930s era, The Velocette's overhead camshaft model gained great success because of its racing pedigree with great handling and a refined engine that rewarded many a rider in the day.

'MLG 255' was restored by the previous vendor some 20 years ago, having been purchased as a well-used machine needing a rebuild. He took the opportunity to use both the Owners' Club spares scheme and Grove Classics' service, with engine work entrusted to the late Mike Daly, well known in Velocette circles. The restoration was subsequently rewarded by winning the Best in Show at the 2011 Audlem Classic Bike Show. Purchased by the current owner in 2019 and used sparingly since, the machine was last used approximately two years ago. Some general light recommissioning would be advised before putting it back on the road. The Velocette is offered with both its old RF60 logbook and a current V5C.
