Dear sir,
I have a van veen 1000 OCR to sell, i would like to know if you should
have a private contact or a museum.
Thank you in advance.

Dear sirs,
I send you an e-mail to inform you that the 750 MV Agusta and the Van
Veen OCR 1000 will be in auction sale in london in the Christie's Exceptional
Motor Cars and Automobilia sale, June 11/2005.
I would like to inform you that before the death of my father, 10 month
ago, the two bikes worked well. Since this time, nobody used it and they
are in a private parking in paris.
The two bikes are really 2 exceptional originals bikes wich had a collection
use that mean one miles a year more or less.
Van Veen: number A002015 date: 24/05/1974
MV AGUSTA: number 2140505 type: MV4C 750CC
date: 01/01/1977
I did not want to sell this bikes but it is a necesary today. I remember
that my father told me that my MV was one of the best motorbike in the
world, that we had a enormous chance to have it at home and to be able
to start the engine once a week. She is very butifull and make a noise
wich pierce your heart. For the Van Veen, she is all original and she had
a crazy big engine, wich made her famous I know, but i was really found
of my MV and I wish the next owner will fallow the MV spirit.
So, I stop the story and give you the adress of the sale:

My name is Keene SEELEY, and I have many Kreidler Florett 50 cc motorbikes.
I also have lots of info. If I remember correctly, Van Veen was the Dutch
importer for Kreidler in the 60's and 70's. Van Veen had a factory-backed
race team, and developed highly successful 50cc racing Kreidlers (rotary
inlet valve, water cooling, electronic ignition). I'm always on the lookout
for additional parts and information, so keep in touch. --

G'day
Having admired this motorcycle as a teenager I have some doubt about
the accuracy of the period 1976 - 1979. I was at the motor show in Rotterdam
when it was first launched and took slides of the Van Veen (slides are
now in storage and unretrievable for the next 2yrs) but I think production
was 1974 - 1977 (will check with my brothers).
The bike was ahead of it's time and when on show the second year running
(1st being more 'concept') it was light metallic green (with streak/colour
variances). Magazine articles stated that the frame was causing manufacturing
problems - the metals tried were either too stiff causing cracking or too
flexible causing instability in handling (note the 350kg).
By the way the price tag then was fl.25,000NL compared to other large
bikes which were mostly around fl.10,000 or less, this too must also have
been a killing factor.
I have often wondered how this bike would fare today - with the necessary
technological advances incorporated I think it would be well received -
guess we'll never know.
Anyway if you'd like to get in touch in 2 years time I may well be able
to provide you with show 'slide' copies.

Here are the only pictures I found. Only 37 bikes were built by
the Dutch Kreidler wholesaler van Veen. The engine was built by Comotor,
it had a 100 hp, 498cc rotary engine, weight 350 kg, top speed 240 km/h,
built 1976-1979 (when Comotor went out of business). Torque 14 mkg at 3500
rpm!!! -- Hartmut Schouwer -- http://www.schouwer-online.de/technik/oldtimer.htm
From Sheldon: It appears
that the "Comoto" rotary engine was a collaboration of Audi/NSU and Citroen.
The bike had Brembo brakes, Koni suspension, shaft drive, and the gearbox
was developed by Porsche. Engine was 996cc. Observed top speed
was said to have been 201kph (125 mph).
Henk Van Veen was the Dutch
importer of Kreidler and had been involved in building racing versions
of the Kreidler mopeds.
