Produced by Veloce Ltd in Hall Green, Birmingham, Velocettes were manufactured from 1904 to 1971. This family-owned firm sold almost as many hand-built motorcycles during its lifetime as the mass-produced machines from the likes of Triumph and Norton. Veloce was a technical innovator, introducing features like the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers. Renowned for quality, Velocette was a prominent name in racing from the mid-1920s to the 1950s, securing two 350cc World Championship titles. In 1961, a Venom set an unbeaten record, averaging over 100mph for 24 hours on a 500cc single-cylinder machine, solidifying its status as one of the best sports bikes of its day.

This 1959 Velocette Venom has been looked after by its enthusiast owner for the past 14 years, participating in numerous runs and rallies across the UK. Initially fitted with a Viper engine, it now possesses an original Venom unit. The current owner has upgraded to a BTH electronic ignition, which makes it easier to start. Maintained and looked after in current ownership, this Venom is now ready for a new owner to enjoy. It is offered with a current V5C, a continuation RF60 logbook, and a collection of receipts for parts from Groves.
