Velocette returned to the civilian motorcycle market in 1946 with a range of machines that included the three high cam, overhead valve singles in much the same form as 1939. The MOV and MAC continued to share a common frame and were equipped with Webb girders, however, the 495cc MSS, although retaining the Webb forks, shared its cycle parts with the over head cam KSS.
The MSS offered has been in the present ownership since 1968. It was restored during 1969 to a very high standard throughout and has subsequently benefitted from the installation of stainless steel spokes and brass nipples. It has seen very little use since the restoration was completed but has been turned over on a regular basis and carefully stored. Its excellent condition today is a testament to both the care that it has received since 1969 and the quality of the restoration which enables the vendor to describe the cosmetic condition as "excellent and the mechanical condition as "very good".
PLEASE NOTE: The engine number for this motorcycle is 6140.
