Launched in 1948, as the 'Motorcycle for Everyman', the Velocette LE addressed the criticisms most often levelled at motorcycles: that they were noisy, dirty and needed special clothing to ride, achieving impressive levels of silence, comfort, and practicality. This LE is an example of the MkIII which was introduced for 1959, its principal improvement being a four-speed, foot-change gearbox with kick-starter.
'354 GLT' was first registered to The Metropolitan Police District, London SE1 on 1st January 1964 and comes with its original RF.60 logbook. Sold into civilian use in 1968, the LE belonged to the lady vendor's late father for some 50 years, although it was used/ridden by her mother. Carrying a tax disc that expired in 2014, the machine was last ridden circa five years ago, since when it has been dry stored in the garage under dust sheets. (The father passed away in June 2022.) It should be noted the rear suspension/shocks are detached from the mudguard, seat loose and the rear wheel appears to be seized/locked. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent, or possibly more extensive restoration before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's completeness, originality, and mechanical condition prior to bidding. Accompanying paperwork includes the aforementioned RF.60; old/current V5C documents; expired MoTs (most recent 2012); DVLA correspondence; and some parts invoices/receipts. A spare front mudguard and panels are included in the sale.
