Velocette motorcycles were produced by Veloce Ltd in Hall Green, Birmingham between 1904 and 1971. One of several motorcycle manufacturers in Birmingham, Velocette was a family-owned firm selling almost as many hand-built motorcycles during its lifetime as the mass-produced machines from the likes of Triumph and Norton. Veloce, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs were commonplace on motorcycles today, including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers. Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was "always in the picture" in international motorcycle racing from the mid-1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc world championship titles.
This 1937 Velocette MOV was purchased by the vendor in 2018 to form part of a collection of motorcycles. In his ownership, it has been used for shows and events. It has not been used for some time due to other machines in the collection, and will now require some recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C.
