1961 Velocette Venom 500cc
Priced at SOLD. Dispatched from the factory on the 20th of January 1961 & supplied to 'White, Auckland' (New Zealand) (from factory records). The machine was brought back to the UK in 2003 & has very comprehensive history, including a New Zealand registration paperwork. The last owner was a Doctor from Kent who had put a lot of time & money into the mechanics of this Venom, but unfortunately had to abandon work on the machine when he became ill. We are informed that the engine has been rebuilt & we have supplied an exhaust & a dynamo pulley which were missing. There is a list of work & notes (see below), as well as an amount of spare parts, which came over from New Zealand in the wooden box shown (which the next owner may have)!!!. The new owner will need to carry out re-wiring the Velocette along with various other jobs to complete the work needed, prior to recommissioning for the road. We are currently in the process of registering the Velocette with the DVLA.
