A sports version of Velocette's utilitarian LE must have seemed improbable but nevertheless the factory went ahead with the idea, launching the Valiant in 1957. More conventional than its predecessor, the Valiant boasted a tubular cradle frame, air cooling, overhead valves, twin carburettors and a four-speed, foot-change gearbox but was otherwise mechanically almost identical to the LE. Visually, the sporting Valiant could not have been more different, but the model was expensive for a machine that was not a full '250' and sales were disappointing. Production ceased in 1964.
This Velocette Valiant currently displays a total of 131 miles on the odometer (the engine turns over). It should be noted that the speedometer glass is missing and that the lettering appears to have been removed from the numberplates (the registration shown (RRD 759) has since been transferred to another vehicle). No registration documents are offered with this machine.
Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning and/or restoration to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's completeness, history, authenticity, originality and mechanical condition prior to bidding.
