In 1933 Veloce Limited augmented its overhead-camshaft range with an overhead-valve 250 - the MOV - that would spawn an entirely new range of OHV singles. 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 MOV was dropped at the end of 1948.
Formerly resident in the Liverpool area, this MOV was restored circa 2009 and is said to be in good condition and running well following adjustments to the valve timing and ignition timing. There are no documents with this Lot.
