The vendor purchased 784 EFW in 2012. He advises us that he had the machine rewired, and rebuilt the magneto and dynamo. Thereafter, he used the machine occasionally, before other machines occupied his time, and from around 2 or 3 years ago, kept the Velo in dry storage. An interesting mix of late 1950s swinging arm frame, and late 1930s overhead cam engine, the Velocette has an intriguing history; during the 1970s, 1980s, and up to 1994, it was raced by Gerry Richardson who then had the engine detuned for road use. A handwritten account in the history file documents his ownership and racing, and an old photo is inscribed 'Cadwell Park VOC meeting 1975'. Equipped with a twin leading shoe front brake, alloy rims, and large tank, its looks are positively Thruxton-like. Documentation includes a current V5C, 2 old-type V5s, old MoTs, the aforementioned account, and miscellaneous papers.
