A mostly original Velocette Vogue
A current V5C documentation with this lot
The Velocette Vogue was launched in 1962. It was the last of the lightweight models made by Velocette and was aimed at the rider who wanted a more stylish version of the long-running LE1. The Vogue was a delightful little motorcycle when taken on its own terms. It didn’t offer enough protection from the elements to encourage drivers out of their cars, and it was too expensive for realistic consideration by either class of potential user. The Vogue’s plus points included a sophisticated beam frame that provided excellent handling, and it wasn’t bad looking, apart from its angular leg shields.
This 1965 Velocette Vogue was purchased by the late vendor in 2011. The Vogue is in mostly original condition, having been first registered on the 25th November 1965 to the famous London Velocette dealer L. Stevens Ltd, Goldhawk Road, Shepards Bush. It is believed to have been one of their demonstrators. The Velocette Vogue was fitted with panniers and flashing indicators from new. This machine is a rare survivor of the 400 ever produced. It is offered complete with a current V5C, with some general recommissioning required before use. To be sold without reserve.
