Description

Hi, This auction is for a complete, 1935 Velocette MSS 500cc motorcycle in need of restoration. This motorcycle was imported some years ago from South Africa having been striped and packed in boxes ( I have photos of it just prior to this ). It was identified by Ivan Rhodes of the Vintage Motor Cycle club as a MSS having been sold to A Field and Co in Pretoria ( Agents ) on 6/11/1935 and it has spent it's whole working life in South Africa . Frame, engine and gearbox numbers are correct. the frame, many of the sheet metal parts, and wheels have been bead blasted, inspected and re-painted. The forks have been professionally re-built and re-bushed but not yet painted. The engine bottom end has been re-built as has the gearbox. This bike comes with new chains,wiring looms , saddle, pillion pad and gasket set plus several books ,manuals and publications on Velocettes and the MSS. This is a great project, viewing is recommended and I can get it outside to allow it to be viewed in a socially distanced way ! viewing is in Martham, Norfolk. Any questions please phone me on 07717710244 or message me. This is auction only with no buy it now. It is buyer collect, however I am happy to deliver it anywhere in the country at cost only.
