• Part of a private collection
• Interesting first year of its life
• A genuine Velocette Truxton
• Old style V5C on file

Produced by Velocette between 1965 and 1971, the Thruxton was revealed at the 1964 Earls Court Show as the final development of Velocette's long-lived pushrod single, the Venom. Due to the high values involved and the possibility of fakes being created, a Thruxton register was established by a member of the Velocette Owners’ Club.
On offer is a Thruxton that was despatched from the Velocette works on 31st July 1968 to dealer, Pikes of Plymouth, Devon, on factory invoice number 78600 and tab number 3710. It was first sold to Mr R. J. Davis of Cornwall on 6th August 1968. A short time after purchase, Mr Davis had an accident with the bike and it was repaired by J. Bowen & Sons of Llanhaden, Pembrokeshire, who had purchased the damaged machine. They ordered a replacement frame and forks directly from the factory and the Thruxton was rebuilt to ‘as new’ condition. It was reregistered in late 1969 on regidtration number SDE 41H and the new frame number of RS 19711. The next owner was a Mr. Bob Spokes of Oxford who sold a few years later to one Mr. Mortimer, later being purchased by the current vendor.
It has not been used for some time and will require some refurbishment before being placed back on the road. It comes complete with a V5C, a letter from the Thruxton Owners’ Club confirming its details and that it is a genuine Velocette Thruxton.
