Veloce, although a smaller company, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs are commonplace on motorcycles today. 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. The first version of the Velocette MAC was launched in 1933 and was developed from the overhead-valve Velocette MOV 250. A reliable single-cylinder design, the MAC coped well with the low-grade post war petrol and was a popular all-rounder amongst motorcyclist in the 1950s.

On offer is a very nice 1954 Velocette MAC which had just one owner from 1954 until 1970. Mr. Bowyer looks to have last used it in 1967, and he sold it to Mr. Hawkins in October 1970. No further history is known until it was purchased by the late vendor in 2014, for his private collection. The Velocette has not been used very much in his ownership and will need some light recommissioning before use. It is offered with a current V5C and the original RF60 logbook.
