Lot 436: 1953 Velocette 349cc MAC

Pioneer, Vintage & Collectors' Motorcycles, Bonhams (27th April 2008)

The second of Velocette’s M-series ‘high camshaft’ models, the 350cc MAC first appeared in 1934 and subsequently was bored out to create the 500 MSS. Post-war, the M-series Velos continued much as before, with rigid frames and - initially - Webb girder forks. The MAC gained an alloy cylinder barrel and ’head for 1951, as well as Velocette’s own telescopic front fork in place of the previous Dowty, and was further updated with a swinging-arm frame in 1953. Offered for restoration, this Velocette MAC ‘project’ is sold strictly as viewed and without documents. No reserve.
