In 1933 Veloce Limited augmented its range of overhead-camshaft models with an overhead-valve 250: the MOV. The newcomer's power unit was a 'high camshaft' design with enclosed valves, and the compact and sprightly machine featured a four-speed gearbox equipped with Veloce's new foot-change mechanism. The following year an overhead-valve 350 built along MOV lines appeared - the long-stroke MAC - which was subsequently bored out to create the 500cc MSS. Post-war, the trio of overhead-valve Velos continued much as before, with rigid frames and, initially, Webb girder forks. The MAC gained an alloy cylinder barrel and 'head for 1951, plus Velocette's own telescopic fork in place of the previous Dowty, and was further updated with a swinging-arm frame in 1953.
JKH was registered to Barry Lidster in 1960, Paul White in 1967, John Baines in 1968 and our vendor bought it about 1975. It had an engine change during this period to a 250cc MOV although it now has the original engine fitted, there are barrels/pistons for both MOV and MAC. There are various receipts on file.
This bike has not been running for at least a year, when parked up it was running well. It will need recommissioning
