This car is to be auctioned at The Autumn Stafford Sale - The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show
Launched in October 1948, as the 'motorcycle for everyman' Velocette's LE addressed the criticisms most often levelled at motorcycles - that they were noisy, dirty, and needed special clothing to ride - achieving impressive levels of silence, comfort and practicality. Sadly, its arrival coincided with the start of the scooter boom and sales were disappointing. Nevertheless, and perhaps inspired by Ariel's successful Leader, Velocette took the concept a stage further in 1963, launching the faired and enclosed Vogue. Equipped with a new frame and distinctive twin-headlamp fairing, the Vogue handled well and was quieter, though no quicker, than its forebear. Production ceased in 1968. One of only 381 of its kind manufactured, and thus one of Veloce's rarer post-war models, this believed partially restored Vogue comes with a photocopied parts list, an original service manual, and an Isle of Man Vehicle Registration Certificate in Tony East's name, issued in May 2012. The certificate records engine number '7084/ 3', frame number '374/ 37' and the previous registration as 'ETR 99C'.
