Veloce Ltd.’s first two-stroke was a 206cc model which appeared in 1912, and it started a long-line of two-strokes which reached its zenith with the Velocette GTP of 1930. With a 250cc engine, one of its most notable improvements was the adoption of coil ignition. It possessed a sporting character, and was said to reach 56mph, despite its small capacity. The retail price of £38 included a full electric lighting set, electric horn and licence holder as standard. It was a long-lived model, surviving until 1946, and 1932 was a landmark year which introduced a throttle-controlled lubrication system and saw the gearbox gain a fourth speed.

This beautiful 1932 GTP has had four registered keepers since 2006, and was purchased by the vendor last year to use through the summer on V.M.C.C. events. Having enjoyed several runs with it, he is pleased to report that it starts readily and runs very happily. He describes it is a very original machine, and while it required little attention during his ownership, it has been fitted with a new chain. Supplied with a V5C and assorted handbooks, this post-vintage lightweight would make an ideal steed for the Banbury Run or the Graham Walker Memorial Run, and would especially suit an enthusiast seeking their first pre-war machine.
