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 'Thruxton replica' has been owned since 1978. The build started life with just a frame and engine, with all parts gathered being original NOS or good secondhand components. With completion in 1986, it has since been used by the late owner. Accompanying the attractively built machine is a large file of receipts for work carried out and for parts purchased, dating back to the late 1970s. A wonderful file of history is presented with it the Velocette and there is a current V5C on file. The frame number on the logbook does not match the machine. Some recommissioning work will be required before use.

Velocette Venom in Clubman/Thruxton trim. My late friend bought this bike at an auction in 1994 and used it on many club runs once the engine had been sorted by Nick Payton. The mechanicals didn't match the cosmetics so an expensive comprehensive engine build was carried out. Nick's invoice is included in lots of paperwork ...
