Description

With its deep petrol tank, massively finned overhead cam engine and purposeful appearance, the Mk VIII is unquestionably one of the most beautiful racing motorcycles ever made.

Despite its pre war origins, the Mk VIII KTT proved good enough to provide Freddie Frith and Velocette with the 350cc World Championship in 1949.

This particular machine was delivered to dealers David Brothers for their rider Stan Thornton.

From the factory records the engine and frame are correct together.

The bike is in beautiful condition and has had little use since a complete restoration. The bike will require a light recommission before being used in anger.
