DESCRIPTION:
"Great book - only an enthusiast could read cover to cover" according to B. D. Hill (susanhill@esc.net.au). This book is the 'bible' on what went on in the Veloce factory at Hall Green. Hundreds of photos and many line drawings - an essential companion to anyone seriously restoring Velo's. Spends a lot of time on the race history - great - but jumps about a bit and not very well structured. Best part is the appendices - all factory specs and all the engine, gearbox and even frame numbers for MAC, MSS, KSS, KTT and later models like Venom and Thruxton. Is your VELO completely genuine

Velocette (pronounced velo-set) is an icon of the classic British motorcycle scene. This painstakingly assembled book details the history of the machines' development and competition successes, as well as the story of the family behind the marque. Engineering excellence mattered more than the whims of the market to the Goodman family, owners of Veloce, Ltd., manufacturer of the Velocette motorcycle
