Velocette is the brand name of motorcycles made 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 are 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 and its legendary, and still-unbeaten, record of averaging over 100mph for 24 hours on a 500cc single cylinder machine. This was achieved on a Venom in 1961 cementing its reputation as one of the best sports bikes of its day.

This Venom has been part of an enthusiast private collection and has been 'Thruxtonised' with a cutaway fuel tank, sports seat, rear set footrest, clip on handlebars, alloy rims and a tachometer all finished off with a top half fairing with built in headlight. Not run for a number of years it will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a VMCC dating letter, a maintenance manual and a current V5C.
