Velocette Motorcycles

A Brief History of the Marque

The firm of Veloce was founded by John Gütgemann (later, John Goodman) in 1905 and by 1915 had found considerable success with their lightweight Velocette, so much so that they changed the company name. Velocette History

1198 Velocette
Velocette thruxton
Hi, On your Velocette page you mention a 1998 Velocette. Are there any pictures of this bike or was a typical Thruxton
Melbourne

I could find no reference to a 1998 Velocette but had there been on it would have been a typo. Ed.

I purchased this machine in 2005 as a non-runner. After fitting new valves, guides, magneto, clutch and a general clean up, it has turned into a reliable, fun machine.

Father's motorbike
not sure not sure
Hi - I am an artist living in Australia - I have been going through my father's photos (he is now deceased) and was fascinated by the motorbike in this picture - I am not sure - but I think it is French - wondering if you could identify it
regards
Debra P

I think the bike is a pre-war MAC Velo similar to this one: Velocette-1936-MAC-Sport-350cc.htm

mark 1 for sale
LE Velo Mark 1
I have moved to spain and have a very early mark 1 stored in the UK. I wish to sell it my number is 0034 647 065 565 or email its got a V5 and the club have seen it as all OK.
Best wishes Steve.
Wirral & Spain

... thank you for your help, I had sent the club historian 'Dennis' some photos when the bike had been restored and I sent off for the V5. The photos are in England and I will be back there for five days from the 17th of August so I hope to dig them out. The bike is stored in my son's garage on the Wirral and I also have a large file on the bike as one of the first circa1948/49 mark 1s. There is a lot of LE information and the old log book, roadside owners manual together with copies of work shop manuals, sales posters etc. I just hope I can find them as together with the bike it makes a bit of history.
Just a bit hot in Spain now so off for a dip in the med!!!!
Best wishes Steve.

I think you will find Velocette made their own two stroke engine for the Viceroy and sold it to DMW. No connection to Villiers.

Velocette Thruxton 1968
Hello, I own (original) a 1968 Velo Thruxton with a full Avon fairing and a reverse megaphone (?) exhaust. This is how I received it-I have not been able to find a reference or picture of a similar set-up. How many like this were produced? surely I don't have the only one!...

... thanks for the quick reply- here is a old photo circa 68/69-please excuse the rider's
appearance!!!;-)
