1965 Velocette MSS 500

Post Sale Update: This Velo sold for $7,000 after 5 bids on eBay in Meadville, Pennsylvania.


First released in 1935, the Velocette MSS was a semi-stalwart that was built until 1968.

The long production run is a little misleading, as the MSS was interrupted by World War II. The model was relaunched in 1954 with the same name but a complete redesign – it featured a MAC frame, optional bags, and sidecar mounting lugs on the frame.

This example (VIN: RS18116) shows 10,349 miles on the odometer and the seller unfortunately doesn’t have to much to say. Nice photos can sometimes go a long way. The seller does say that this MSS is in “great running condition” and that it was last serviced in 2017 – the bill is available upon request. He or she also notes that this is an “excellent candidate for light restoration”.
