In the mid-1950s, Velocette had two very different lines of motorcycles. Alongside the larger and more conventional M series, they produced a series of enclosed small capacity four-stroke flat twins for the commuter market, when most of their competitors were producing two-stroke singles. Launched at the Earls Court Show in November 1956, the Velocette Valiant was a development of the Velocette LE. It had a two-piece cover that enclosed most of the crankcase and gearbox.
This 1957 Velocette Valiant has been sympathetically partly restored by the owner, keeping as many original parts as possible. The tinware has been painted to a good standard at some point. An ideal small machine for many local club runs and events, the Velocette has not been ridden since last year and will need some light recommissioning before use. It is being offered with a current V5C.
