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 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 Velocette Venom was purchased from an ex-Velocette racer and fully restored by the current owner, a Velocette race and enthusiast. Extensively rebuilt or new where possible, the machine has had a new big end, barrel, piston, valve's bearings. The wheels are stainless rims and all rebuilt by Devon rims, it also benefits from a new uprated clutch which had been sourced from the Velocette Club. The electrical system has also been overhauled, including the magneto. Since its completion, the machine has been running very well and is only being sold due to lack of use. It is offered with a current V5C, Velocette Dating Certificate and a host of receipts from Groves.
