Lot 64
A 1939 Velocette MSS, registration number FXU 52, engine number MSS3944, black. The MSS was the third in the M series introduced in 1935, it would remain in production until 1970 with a short break in production between 1948 and 1953. As with all the M series Velocettes they feature the overhead valve engine in various capacities and in the case of the MSS it was 500cc. This essentially original machine has been refurbished by the vendor to retain as much originality as possible. The overall appearance is oily rag but that is only half the story as the velocette has been refurbished with new piston and refurbished cylinder barrel, refurbished cylinder head with new valves, seats and guides by SRM and is now unleaded compatible. Further items either renewed or refurbished include a new carburettor, new clutch and gearbox bearings, refurbished and relined clutch, new chains, refurbished clutch and brakes, rewired and new cables throughout. RF60, V5C, MOT and tax exempt
£7500-8500 + 13. 2% Buyers premium (including 20% VAT)
