Velocette, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs are 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 and its legendary, and still-unbeaten, record of averaging over 100mph for 24 hours on a 500cc single cylinder machine. This was achieved on a Venom in 1961 cementing its reputation as one of the best sports bikes of its day.

This nicely presented 1957 Venom has been part of an enthusiast’s small private collection. Purchased as a restored machine a few years ago it’s a machine that has offered enjoyment and use since in the vendor's ownership. The vendor has stated that the machine ‘runs well’ and has never let him down on many events and runs that he has attended. It has been fitted with a clubman tank during its life, apart from that it retains many original features. Offered with a current V5C and some old MOT certificates.
