In 1933 Veloce Limited augmented its long-established range of overhead-camshaft models with an overhead-valve 250: the MOV. The latter would spawn an entirely new range of OHV singles, culminating in the Thruxton sports roadster of 1965. The newcomer's engine was a 'high camshaft' design with enclosed valves, and the compact and sprightly machine featured a four-speed gearbox equipped with the company's new foot-change mechanism. The following year an overhead-valve 350 built along MOV lines appeared. This was the long-stroke MAC, subsequently bored out to create the 500cc MSS. Post-war, Velo's overhead-valve trio continued much as before, with rigid frames and - initially - Webb girder forks. The MAC gained an alloy cylinder barrel and 'head for 1951, as well as Velocette's own telescopic front fork in place of the previous Dowty, and was further updated with a swinging-arm frame alongside the rest of the singles range in 1953. Production ceased in 1960.
Apparently well restored and seemingly to substantially original specification, this Velocette MAC was last used by the late owner approximately 6-7 years ago. Re-commissioning and the customary safety checks will be required before returning it to the road. The machine is offered with an old-style logbook and old/current V5/V5C documents.
