Velocette is the brand name of motorcycles made by Veloce Ltd in Hall Green, Birmingham between 1904 and 1971. One of several motorcycle manufacturers in Birmingham, Velocette was a family-owned firm selling almost as many hand-built motorcycles during its lifetime as the mass-produced machines from the likes of Triumph and Norton. Veloce, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs were commonplace on motorcycles today, including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers. Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was "always in the picture" in international motorcycle racing from the mid-1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc World Championship titles.

This 350cc Viper, presented in authentically restored condition, has been part of an enthusiast private collection of mainly Velocettes. Supplied new by Bill Lomas Motorcycles of Clay Cross in February 1967 it is still fitted with its fibreglass 'Vee Line' Engine covers, often discarded in the day, together with a period rear carrier, alloy mudguards and a front crash bar. Not run for a few years it will need recommissioning and comes supplied with its original green log book and a current V5C.
