Lot 66
1960 Velocette Valiant 200cc Project
Reg. no. 902 UYJ
Frame no. 2035
Engine no. 1929
After the success of the LE model, Velocette decided to make a sports version of this very popular motorcycle and in 1957 the Valiant was launched. It was visually very different and a more conventional motorbike than the LE. It had a tubular cradle frame that housed an air cooled, twin carb, overhead valve engine and used a four-speed foot change gearbox but was otherwise mechanically very similar to the LE.
This bike comes from a deceased estate and appears to be in fairly original, partially dismantled and in unrestored condition and the engine turns over on the kickstart. It is sold as per the photographs as a project.
Comes with – a current V5C, an old MOT certificate that expired in 2015, some registration number transfer details from its original reg that was ‘581 RE’, a photocopy of the owner’s handbook and a key.
Estimate: £500 - 800
