DESCRIPTION
The first version of the Velocette MAC was launched in 1933 and was developed from the overhead valve Velocette MOV 250cc, which had suffered from reliability problems. The single cylinder engine was then enlarged to 349cc and it could then comfortably reach 75mph. The early MAC weighed 280lb and had girder front forks.
On the outbreak of the Second World War military versions of the MAC, the Velocette MAC (WD) and the MAF were produced. The MAC (WD) had an upgraded clutch and the MAF had a new 'up-for-down' gear shift. The pressed-steel front brake drum was replaced by cast-iron fittings which became standard for the later MAC. After the war MAC production restarted and in 1948 the outdated girder forks were replaced with innovative air-sprung Dowty Oleomatic forks.
This bike is in lovely "used" condition, showing its age with pride having been dry stored as part of a collection for many years. It is offered complete with its original buff logbook and we are informed by the vendor that this particular machine has had just four owners since 1948, a lovely machine that is ready to be ridden and enjoyed.
