In 1933 Veloce Limited augmented its established 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 MAC gained an alloy cylinder barrel and ’head for 1951, as well as Velocette’s own telescopic front fork in place of the previous Dowty, and was further updated with a swinging-arm frame in 1953. One of Professor Ehn’s very first motorcycles, this Velocette MAC was acquired in 1971 and in regular use until 1974. Its obvious modifications - aluminium-alloy front mudguard, exposed fork springs, chromed headlamp shell and ‘ace’ handlebars - date from this period. The machine was been repainted and fitted with a new exhaust system prior to going on display in the Museum. Offered with Austrian Einzelgenehmigung confirming matching frame/engine numbers.
