The third of Velocette’s overhead-valve, high-camshaft, single-cylinder designs, the 500cc MSS was announced in 1935. The first of these new models had been the 250cc MOV of 1933, which was joined for 1934 by a long-stroke 350cc version - the MAC. In creating the MSS, Veloce kept to the basic design, combining the MAC’s 96mm stroke with a larger bore to create its new ‘500’. The MSS engine went into a new frame derived from that of the racing KTT. The model disappeared from Veloce Limited’s range in 1948 while the company concentrated on the LE, reappearing in 1954 with a new swinging-arm frame and Hall Green’s own telescopic front fork. The engine too was updated, gaining ‘square’ bore and stroke dimensions of 86x86mm along with an alloy cylinder barrel and ’head. This presentable MSS has been in the current owner’s hands for the past eight years, during which period the vendor has replaced the chains, battery, tyres and exhaust. The machine has also been fitted with a professionally overhauled magneto and a new carburettor. ‘TVS 345’ has covered fewer than 3,000 miles while in the vendor’s possession and is reported to be an easy starter and a strong, reliable tourer. The machine is offered with seven consecutive MoT certificates (to February 2010), current road fund licence and Swansea V5C document.
