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 overhead cam KSS.

This 1939 Velocette MSS has resided with the late owner for the last 22 years. It was purchased as a ‘fully restored to a good standard’ machine and to factory spec. The MSS was despatched new to Pike of Exeter and sold to Mr G Newton on 1st August 1939. Sadly, no further history is known about the machine until a Mr. Caswell purchased it in the late 1990s; it was he who did the restoration. It was then sold to the late vendor in 2002. The MSS is offered with a current V5C, the Ivan Rhodes dating certificate, some old invoices and several old MOT certificates.
