Engine No: MAC22528

MOT: Exempt
Please Note: This Lot was originally thought to be an MSS however it has been brought to our attention that the frame number indicates MAC origins and not MSS as initially believed
The Velocette MSS was launched in 1935 as a 500cc to the new M Series models, intended as a side car hauler. World War II halted production which did not resume until 1954. The new MSS was a much more modern machine with the same frame as the Velocette MAC and was fitted with sidecar lugs and had optional panniers to appeal to the touring market. Buyers started tuning the MSS for speed, however, and the factory responded by producing the sports Velocette Venom model. In 1955 a scrambles version was also produced.
In long term ownership from 1995 to 2022, and actively campaigned and in regular use until recently, ‘DFP’ will need recommissioning before use, however, the MAC engine that is fitted, ‘kicks over’ and appears to have compression. Appearing complete and unmolested, with upgrades including magneto and a Criterion alternator, this could be an excellent opportunity to acquire a sensibly estimated Velocette single in ‘oily rag’ condition. Paperwork on file includes old invoices and service information.
