Velocette was the name of motorcycles made by Veloce Ltd. in Hall Green, Birmingham, between 1905 and 1971. Veloce was a family-owned firm which sold almost as many hand-built motorcycles during its heyday as the likes of Triumph and Norton. Although small, it 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. The company was 'always in the picture' in international motorcycle racing from the mid-1920s to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc World Championship titles, and its legendary and still-unbeaten 1961 record of averaging over 100mph for 24 hours on a 500cc single-cylinder machine, set by a Velocette Venom.

This 1952 350cc MAC was restored to a very high standard several years ago and has now mellowed to a pleasing but eminently presentable state. Having spent the last few years as a static exhibit in a large collection of mainly British motorcycles, it now requires some light recommissioning before it can be used on the road, but it should make for a straightforward and rewarding project. In its present condition, once running it would be ideal both for showing and for regular road outings.
