The Velocette MSS was launched in 1935 as a 500cc to the new M Series models, intended as a side car hauler. World War II halted production which did not resume until 1954. The new MSS was a much more modern machine with the same frame as the Velocette MAC and was fitted with sidecar lugs and had optional panniers to appeal to the touring market. Buyers started tuning the MSS for speed, however, and the factory responded by producing the sports Velocette Venom model. In 1955 a scrambles version was also produced.

This 1954 Velocette MSS model has formed part of a Velocette collection since 2014, it has been run up until 2023. It was purchased as an older restoration by the previous owner. Sometime in its life it has had an engine change with no documentation of when. Some recommissioning may be required before use. It’s offered complete with a continuation RF60 logbook and a current V5C.
