Lovely Vintage Velocette GTP

Between 1913 and 1925, Veloce produced expensive, high-quality two-stroke motorcycles of (nominally) 250cc, which gained an excellent reputation and were entered in competitions such as the Isle of Man TT, with some success. The single-cylinder machines had many advanced features, such as a throttle-controlled oil pump, which set them apart from other manufacturers' products. The factory gradually developed this machine from the "A" series and variants, then the "H" series and the model "U" and variants, culminating in the model "GTP" in 1930, which was produced until 1946. The GTP was a reliable lightweight motorcycle with good steering and power delivery.
This very charming 1932 Velocette GTP has been owned by the late vendor for over 40 years and was used by him on many Vintage and outdoor steam rally events in the early years of ownership. The GTP has been stored in the attic of a barn for many years and is still in 'very good' condition, now requiring some mechanical recommissioning before placing it back on the road. It is being offered with a current V5C and the old style V5 on file.
