In 1934 Veloce Limited announced a high-camshaft overhead-valve '350' built along the lines of the recently introduced 250cc MOV. This was the long-stroke MAC, subsequently bored out to create the 500cc MSS. Post-war, Velo's overhead-valve trio continued much as before, with rigid frames and - initially - Webb girder forks, Dowty Oleomatics being specified later. The MAC gained an alloy cylinder barrel and 'head for 1951 as well as Velocette's own telescopic fork, and was further updated with a swinging-arm frame in 1953. The model was last catalogued in 1960.
An older restoration, this MAC comes with its original buff logbook recording that it was first registered by the famous Velocette dealers L Stephens Ltd of Shepherds Bush, West London on 28th July 1954. Only two private owners are listed, the last of whom sold the MAC to the current family owners in September 1980 (purchase receipt on file). Additional paperwork includes sundry bills; a 1964 tax disc; an expired MoT (2007); and old/current V5/V5C documents. It should be noted that both the HPI and V5C omit the 'RS' prefix from the frame number and the 'MAC' prefix from the engine number. Not used for some time, the machine will require recommissioning before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed.
