• From a large private collection of motorcycles
• A lovely example of a post-Vintage lightweight Velocette
• Attractively patinated with many original features

Velocette produced many expensive, high-quality two-stroke motorcycles of a nominal 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 range of 250s was gradually developed from the A-series and variants, spanning the H-series, Model U and more, eventually culminating in the GTP model of 1930, which was produced until 1946. It was a lightweight machine with a reputation for reliability, good steering and easy power delivery.

This little 1939 GTP has formed part of a very large collection of motorcycles encompassing many makes, models and eras. Purchased in its current condition by its late owner, it was briefly ridden before being placed into the collection. Having been on static display for many years, it will now require recommissioning before it goes back on the road. Helpfully equipped with a pillion seat, this GTP has likely received some cosmetic and mechanical renovations in the past, although it appears now with a very pleasing patina. The sale includes a V5C.
