1953 Velocette MAC, 350cc. Registration number 331 XVK (non transferrable). Frame number RS2244. Engine number MAC25196.
In 1933 Veloce Limited augmented its range of overhead-camshaft models with an overhead-valve 250: the MOV. The newcomer's power unit was a 'high camshaft' design with enclosed valves, and the compact and sprightly machine featured a four-speed gearbox equipped with Veloce's new foot-change mechanism. The following year an overhead-valve 350 built along MOV lines appeared - the long-stroke MAC - which was subsequently bored out to create the 500cc MSS. Post-war, the trio of overhead-valve Velos continued much as before, with rigid frames and, initially, Webb girder forks. The MAC gained an alloy cylinder barrel and 'head for 1951, plus Velocette's own telescopic fork in place of the previous Dowty, and was further updated with a swinging-arm frame in 1953.
XVK was recently rebuilt from a project bike and registered with DVLA in March 2020. Finished in the traditional ‘Velo’ colours of black with gold lining on the tank and fish tail exhaust. Carrying out the usual safety inspection would see this machine commissioned for road use.
