• Believed to be the ex 24 Bol d'Or Velocette
• Previous owner Mick Hemmings
• Exported to France for the Bol d'Or 05/07/67
• UK registered from 1990

Produced by Velocette between 1965 and 1971, the Thruxton was revealed at the 1964 Earls Court Show as the final development of Velocette's antiquated pushrod single, the Venom. Sometimes referred to as the Venom Thruxton or simply Thruxton. Due to the high values involved and possibility of fakes, a register was established by a member of the Velocette Owners Club.

Believed to be the very machine that was exported to France for the 1967 Bol d'Or 24 hour endurance race, it was purchased by Mick Hemmings from Charles Maillard of Strasbourg, France, in early 1990, and then restored and displayed in many classic events until he sold it to the current vendor. Partly converted back to road use, it still retains its original fuel tank and fairing, as pictured. Ivan Rhodes has confirmed the machine details; a photocopy is on file. A very interesting machine for the Velocette world. It comes complete with a current V5C an old MOT certificate from 1989/90 with an insurance document stating Mick Hemmings, and a dating certificate from Ivan Rhodes, and import paperwork from 1990.
