Asuperb and rare photo of the 1937 500cc Velocette racer. Velocette is the name given to motorcycles that were made by VeloceLtd, in Hall Green, Birmingham, England. One ofseveral motorcycle manufacturers in Birmingham,Velocette was a small, family-owned firm, selling far fewer hand-builtmotorcycles than the giant BSA, Norton or Triumph concerns. Renowned for thequality of its products, the company was \'always in the picture\' ininternational motorcycle racing, from the mid-1920s through the 1950s,culminating in two world championship titles (1949–1950 350cc) and itslegendary and still-unbeaten 24hours at 100mph (161km/h)record. Veloce, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of itspatented designs are commonplace on motorcycles today, including thepositive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulicdampers. The company was founded by John Goodman (born Johannes Gütgemann andlater known as John Taylor before formally changing his name to Goodman) andWilliam Gue, as \"Taylor, Gue Ltd.\" in 1905. Its first motorcycle wasthe Veloce. Later that year, John Taylor set up Veloce Limited, to producecycles and related products and services. Veloce Ltd initially producedfour-stroke motorcycles. The first two-stroke, built in 1913, was called aVelocette. This name was used for all subsequent models. He was joined in 1916by his sons Percy and Eugene Goodman. Between 1913 and 1925, Veloce onlyproduced expensive, high-quality two-stroke motorcycles of (nominally)250cc, which gained an excellent reputation, and which were entered incompetitions, such as the Isle of Man TT, with some success. Thesingle-cylinder machines had many advanced features, such as athrottle-controlled oil pump, which set them apart from other manufacturers\'products. The factory gradually developed this machine from the \'A\' series andvariants (A, AC2 - coil ignition, two-speed gearbox, AC3 - three speed gearbox,etc.), then the \'H\' series, the model U and variants, culminating in the modelGTP in 1930, which was produced until 1946. The GTP was a reliable lightweightmotorcycle with good steering and power delivery. In the early 1920s, Velocerealized that in order to grow as a company, it needed a new machine ofadvanced specification and developed an overhead camshaft (OHC) 350cc engine, which became known as the\'K\' series, introduced in 1925. After a year of teething troubles with this newdesign, Veloce entered the model KTT into racing events such as the Isle of ManTT and Brooklands races, and the reliability and sweet running qualities oftheir new engine led to a long string of racing successes. Itis a very nice non period photo, that reflects a wonderful era ofVelocette’s rich history in a wonderful way. This is your rare chance toownthis photo, therefore it is printed in a nice large format ofca.8\" x 12\" (ca. 20 cm x 30 cm).
