Developed over many years, Velocette’s reliable two-strokes needed to be joined by more upmarket machines in the 1920s. The Percy Goodman-designed Model K employed a single overhead camshaft driven by vertical shaft, and due to the frame design had a very narrow crankcase. The 1925 Isle of Man TT was a disaster for the new Model K, with the three entries retiring with oil-fed lubrication issues, but such adversity was all part of its development and a new dry-sump system was introduced. Wins followed in 1927 and 1928 and by the end of the 1920s, Velocette’s Model K had established itself as a well-respected model.

This 1928 Modek K was despatched to the agents Alexandra & Co. of Glasgow and sold to its Scottish first owner, Mr. D. M. Kinlay. It formed part of its late owner’s private motorcycle collection and some restoration work was carried out by him on the Velocette, but sadly he never finished it. A very nimble, lightweight Vintage machine, once completed it will be eligible for the famous Banbury Run and many other events. Mostly complete but with some parts missing, it is sold strictly as viewed. It is offered with a current V5C, its original RF60 logbook and a dating certificate from Ivan Rhodes.
