DESCRIPTION
Famous the world over for their 500cc sports bikes, the Velocette marque also catered for more modest pockets with their pretty 350cc singles. Surprisingly quiet, torquey and lacking in vibration, the Phil Irving-designed frame gave a safe and pleasant ride. The humble touring Velocettes from Hall Green in Birmingham hardly changed their appearance from the early 1930s to their demise in the early 70s.
The firm had made its name with its exotic "ohc' machines, winning a string of TTs in the 1920s, and taking first place at the 1930 Manx GP; the racing Velocette KTT was also being offered in KSS road trim. Later, the quirky LE and rapid Venom Thruxton became famous, but in some ways the competent MAC epitomised everything rank-and-file riders loved about Velocettes.
This is a superbly presented example of the ever popular Velocette MAC range of bikes that has an excellent patina and rides superbly, this particular example has a current MoT until July 2013 and is a truly delightful example of a great motorbike.
