Renowned for the quality of its products, Velocette 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 KSS featured an overhead camshaft engine that was quite rare in a road bike at the time and formed the basis of the championship-winning KTTs.

Here is a great opportunity to purchase a 1934 Velocette KSS project. Sold new by Pike & Co. of Exeter on 23rd December 1933, it was owned by a Mr. Girocot of Shaftsbury, Dorset. It was purchased as a project by the late vendor in 2020 but, like the other machines on offer, he never finished the restoration. Mostly complete but with some parts missing, it appears to have had some engine and gearbox work. The KSS is not on the DVLA database but there are two accompanying old-style logbooks. With the help of the Velocette Owners’ Club, it may be possible to retain the original registration number. Sold strictly as viewed.
