Velocettes were manufactured by Veloce Ltd. in Hall Green, Birmingham, between 1905 and 1971. Launched in 1925, the 348cc Velocette KSS (K-series Super Sports) was an advanced machine for its time, making use of an overhead-camshaft single-cylinder engine. In standard guise, a KSS was reckoned to be good for 80mph, although tuned versions reportedly hit 90mph on the Isle of Man TT course. Notable successes included Alec Bennett’s victories in the 1926, 1928 and 1929 Isle of Man Junior TTs, plus his second-place finish in 1927, riding the KSS-derived KTT. The Mk. II KSS arrived for 1936 with a substantially revised frame and a new engine with an alloy head. Still competitive, it remained in production until 1948.

This very charming c.1935 Velocette KSS Mk. II was restored several years ago to an extremely high standard., with many original components retained. Since completion, it has seen little use and has primarily been on display in a museum. Some work was being performed when we inspected the bike, but we have been advised it will be running ready for the sale. As it has been off the road since 2021, some checks are recommended before use. A partial V5C is supplied.
