In 1933 Veloce Limited added to its Velocette range of overhead-camshaft models with an overhead-valve 250 – the MOV. The newcomer’s power unit was a ‘high camshaft’ design with enclosed valves, and the compact and sprightly machine featured a four-speed gearbox equipped with the company’s new foot-change mechanism. The following year an overhead-valve 350 built along MOV lines appeared. This was the long-stroke MAC, which was subsequently bored out to create the 500cc MSS. Post-war, the trio of overhead-valve Velos continued much as before, with rigid frames and – initially – Webb girder forks.
The motorbike offered
The Mac on offer here, comes from a local Southern California collector looking to thin the herd, as it were. According to factory records, the bike was built in March 1946, only the 5th bike produced after WWII. Offered in exceptional condition, the bike runs equally well, having been recommissioned to ready it for sale.
