Velocette produced expensive, high-quality two-stroke motorcycles of (nominally) 250cc, which gained an excellent reputation and were entered in competitions such as the Isle of Man TT, with some success. The single-cylinder machines had many advanced features, such as a throttle-controlled oil pump, which set them apart from other manufacturers' products. The factory gradually developed this machine from the ‘A’ series and variants, through the 'H' series and model ‘U’ and variants, culminating in the model ‘GTP’ of 1930, which was produced until 1946. The GTP was a reliable lightweight motorcycle with good steering and power delivery.
On offer is a c.1930 Velocette GTP which has been part of a small collection of various machines belonging to the late vendor. Purchased in 2020 from a dealer, sadly it has not been used since. There is little history with the machine, except for a purchase receipt, and a logbook will need to be applied for (it is on DVLA records). We believe it to be complete, however, it will require some recommissioning before placing it back on the road. An ideal Vintage lightweight machine for an enthusiast to take-on, it is offered at ‘no reserve’.
