The LE Velocette was manufactured by Veloce Ltd, a company more famous for its bigger performance bikes, from 1948 up to the late sixties. With its horizontally opposed water-cooled twin-cylinder engine and all enclosing bodywork it was designed to answer criticism that motorcycles were noisy and dirty, and to a large extent it was successful. At first offered with a 150cc engine, its initial performance was somewhat pedestrian so the motor was eventually increased to 200cc and it found favour with over 50 police forces around the UK. Police riders of the day were expected to nod to senior officers whilst riding past and the bike became affectionately known as the 'Noddy' bike to the general public. The Vogue, based on the LE 200c, first appeared at the Earls Court Show in 1962 and was Velocette's attempt to offer even more comfort and weather protection. The bodywork was constructed in fibreglass with a 2.5-gallon petrol tank integral with the frame and distinctive twin headlamps in front of a built in windscreen and instrument panel.

This Velocette Vogue, being offered at no reserve, is presented in complete and authentic condition, including its built in panniers and touring screen. It has been stood for a while so will need recommissioning, however the engine turns over on the kaickstarter. Included in the sale is a gasket set, original owners manuals and a current V5C.
