1963 Velocette Venom 500cc
Priced at SOLD. First registered in Hertfordshire on the 18th of July 1963, this smashing Velocette Venom was sold by us to the last Norfolk owner in 2000. Having had a lot of enjoyment out of the machine for over two decades, illness has now forced a reluctant sale. During the time he had the bike he spent a fortune on an engine rebuild, including having Phil Pearson balance the crankshaft assembly. The electrics ave been uprated to 12 volts & a Criterion alternator conversion fitted. There is a whole wallet file full of invoices/receipts (see photograph below) & other paperwork. He used the Velocette a lot, witness all the past MOT certificates & past road tax discs below. Peter, our mechanic, went for a good test ride & reported that this is one fast bike, quickly & easily making the legal limit, with great handling to boot. Full history in the form of the original buff cardboard logbook, an old V5 document & an old V5C document. Comes with a current DVLA V5C registration document, is registered under the 'Historic Vehicle' class for free road tax & is MOT exempt.
