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 1958 Velocette Valiant was purchased by the late vendor some considerable years ago and perhaps even from new. The restoration was started before he became ill and could no longer complete it. Sold with some additional parts, it is likely there could be some parts missing. It is offered with a V5C and many handbooks and is being offered without a reserve.
