Registration No: VV 8216
Frame No: 10176
MOT: Exempt
Owned since the 1980s
Very original Velocette MAC
Part of a collection of pre-war machines
The Velocette MAC proved itself to be a reliable single-cylinder machine, coping well with the low-grade post-war petrol and was a popular commuter and touring motorcycle. Although they started as innovators, Velocette failed to keep pace with developing technology and production ended in 1959.
The late owner purchased this 1939 Velocette MAC in its current condition in the late 1980s. In his ownership he used the Velocette for many VMCC events in the early years. It was then placed up in the attic of the barn with the other motorcycles at some point in the early 2000s. It has not been used for sometime and will now require recommissioning before placing back on the road. The MAC is offered with a current V5C and some old MOT certificates from the 1980s.
