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.

Whilst many Velocette designs were OHC, especially their race bikes, in 1933, the decision was made to develop a cheaper to produce OHV engine and the first model was the 250cc MOV with a fully enclosed valve train. This little Velocette MOV was restored by a group of Velocette enthusiasts during the recent pandemic, once the lockdown was lifted they all got together to complete the restoration. There have been many new parts fitted during the restoration with a full engine rebuild, and magneto rewound. The current vendor has enjoyed the MOV and has advised it runs as it should. It is being offered complete with a current V5C.
