Complete, older restoration that has not been used since 2017
Paper work file including old V5C, RF60 and old MOT certificates
Thought to be in running order, however in need of recommissioning
Introduced in 1948 as a 150cc machine, the LE Velocette was a complete departure from normal motorcycle development. Being a water-cooled, flat twin, side-valve, shaft drive and monocoque chassis all at the same time could be seen as perverseness, but Velocette had never been a company to follow the herd. Enlarged to 192cc for 1951, it had a model run of over 20 years.
This example is a complete, older restoration, in fair condition that has not been used since 2017. Although believed to be in running order, it will require recommissioning prior to use. Previously used as a ‘go to work’ machine as well as regular attendance on VMCC and LE Club events, it is ‘known’ as a well sorted and reliable machine and represents a good opportunity to acquire a potentially rewarding and hopefully easy recommissioning / restoration project. Upon inspection the engine and frame numbers were not found. Offered with a history file including old V5C, RF60 logbook and old MOT certificates.
