Lot 224

Offered from the estate of the late Neil Redley, 1966 Velocette 499cc Endurance

Offered from the estate of the late Neil Redley
1966 Velocette 499cc Endurance
Registration no. ACN 87D
Frame no. RS18541
Engine no. VM 6150 (see text)

In late 1954 Velocette announced the 500cc MSS Scrambler, followed in 1956 by a 350cc sibling. One of the Scrambler's close relatives was the rare Endurance version, an off-road model featuring a combination of Scrambler and Venom roadster components including lights and other road equipment such as a speedometer and rev counter. (Although common parlance when referring to such machines now, the term 'enduro' was not then widely used within the motorcycling community.)

A type of Velocette rarely seen in the UK, this Endurance model was originally dispatched to M C Supply in the USA and was purchased by Neil in 2014. Not much is known of the machine's previous history, but it has been dry stored since purchase and appears to have been very well restored cosmetically (its mechanical condition is not known). Recommissioning will be required before returning it to the road. The machine is offered with a folder of paperwork to include an old US title, V5C document, Velocette dating letter, and sundry invoices. Strangely, there is no 'E' at the end of the engine number denoting an Endurance model, but the number is correct for the machine. It should also be noted that there is an 'R' stamped behind the 'M' of the engine number, denoting Viper. Accordingly, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's capacity, originality and correctness prior to bidding.
