Description
1956 Velocette MSS 500
The vendor has supplied the following information.
Current owner since 2001 who bought it from a VOC member in Keighley. The bike has had light use since then and runs and is an easy starter (the vendor informs us of last running the Velocette around 3 months ago).
The owners interests have moved onto lightweights and now is the time to let the MSS go to someone who will continue to ride the machine.
There is some history and receipts with the bike including the renovation of the engine by Velo specialist Alec Swallow in 2000.
The originality speaks for itself and is the strength of the machine. In short, an increasingly rare opportunity to own a piece of fast appreciating British motorcycling history.
