Launched in November 1955, the Velocette Viper was a higher performance version of the company’s sprung-frame 350 MAC. Nicely made and finished, the Viper was the 350cc sports bike of choice for many. Enjoying a long production life, the model was more expensive than most rivals and so sold in smaller numbers.

This example was supplied new by Bill Lomas (Motorcycles) Ltd of Clay Cross, Derbyshire, in 1959. Entering the current ownership over sixty years ago, the Velocette was in regular service up until 2024. Known in the vendor’s family as ‘Nellie’, the Viper was repainted some time ago. Reportedly well maintained, the motorcycle has been uprated with BTH electronic ignition and an improved oil filter. Starting readily during our current photography session, the Viper is deemed to be ‘in very tidy overall condition’. 'Nellie' has escaped conversion to 500cc Venom specification and boasts its correct original engine, frame and registration numbers. Accompanied by a good history file including 1963 sales receipt, invoices, tax discs, early MOTs and other paperwork.
