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. 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. The MSS was the predecessor to the Venom and Thruxton models. This excellently restored Velocette MSS has been part of the Brian Ditchfield collection since its purchase from Andy Tiernan in 2015. A retired engineer and lifelong motorcycle enthusiast who has in the past run a very successful Sidecar GP team, finishing in the top six for the 2003 World Championship, Mr Ditchfield has not ridden the bike of late As such, it will require checking over / recommissioning prior to use. Pleasingly, nothing has been over-polished or chromed where it shouldn't be, creating a very authentic example of this 1950s classic. Offered with an original owner's manual that carefully spells out the correct starting procedure together with a book about Velocette, dating letter and current V5C.
