1967 Velocette Thruxton, 500cc. Registration number RWT 37E. Frame number RS 19148. Engine number UMT471. Gearbox number 12-12259.

The Thruxton was produced between 1965 and 1971, it was the final development of Velocette's pushrod single, the Venom. A very rare machine, only 1,108 Thruxtons were manufactured before the company collapsed in 1971.
RWT is a rare original machine, bought new by our vendor, sold to Michael Short in May 1977 and then bought back in 2010 from a Bonhams auction.
It has only travelled some 12,500 miles in its life, it had a full engine rebuild in 1976 by R.F. Seymour, detailed receipt on file.
Very rarely do unrestored machines with this provenance come on the market, one for the discerning collector.
