1959 Velocette MAC, barn fresh, been standing, easy project, V5C

1959 VELOCETTE MAC BARN FRESH PROJECT

Here is a great opportunity to own / restore a solid old MAC 350cc Velocette that has been standing for a while.

The bike is in generally complete. sound condition. The engine turns over OK without any strange noises. I presume the lack of spark is probably the reason the bike was taken off the road.

The gearbox selects all gears nicely and the clutch frees off OK. The brakes feel good when pushing the bike. The petrol tank is clean & dry inside and unlinered. A “Criterion” alternator has been fitted in place of the old dynamo. I am sure this was a good practical little runabout until it was laid up.

The bike comes with V5C registration document. Date of registration is 2nd July 1959 so the bike is pre-60 MOT exempt and eligible for Historic Class free road tax.

Frame number is RS10497. engine number MAC 25469 (these numbers match the V5C doc. )

Cosmetically the bike is in good “old-bike” oily rag condition. It doesn’t really need to be restored and could be cleaned up to a reasonable standard as is.

The paintwork is generally sound but dull. some may say it has a nice patina!

The rear rim has decent chrome and looks like it would clean up very well. Spokes are dull blackened but not rusty. nipples are rust free. The front rim is also very serviceable but the chrome a bit worse than the rear. Spokes are good but dull and with decent non rusty nipples.

Tyres front & rear are well worn and would need replacing 

The exhaust system is sound and would polish up quite good.

Both side & centre-stands are fitted and are in good order. The rear mudguard is generally sound but has a couple of rust blebs around the nearside grab handle mounting.

The all alloy motor has no broken fins.

Don’t miss this cracking opportunity to reawaken a lovely 350 MAC that could be recommissioned “as-is” and polished up to make a nice “old-bike” or completely restored to a higher standard.
