1966 Velocette Venom Thruxton 499cc For Sale by Auction


Velocette offered a high-performance cylinder head for the Venom in 1965, and a bike so equipped won the 800-mile Thruxton road race – hence the name of the subsequent model
The model was aimed at endurance road racing, in which bikes have to be production-based, and only 1, 108 were built before the company’s demise.
Velocette claimed 41 bhp for the Thruxton with a top speed of 110 mph
It was fitted with a close-ratio gearbox, alloy rims, a big-valve high-compression head, polished ports and an Amal 5GP carburettor 
This lovely example is part of a private collection and dry stored for many years
It's finished in the sought after Silver and Blue and is described by the long term owner as being in very good condition
Twin leading-shoe front brake, Speed-hump seat unit, clip-on handlebars
Having spent some time in storage, the bike may well need some light recommissioning before use
