Velocette was the motorcycle brand of Veloce Limited, a company founded in Birmingham, England in 1905 by the Taylor family. The marque earned respect over more than six decades for engineering quality, careful assembly, and successful racing, especially with its overhead-camshaft machines. Production continued through the Second World War and into the postwar years before the company closed in 1971, ending a long and respected chapter of British motorcycling history.

Velocette is best remembered for its overhead-camshaft single-cylinder motorcycles, which were smooth, well engineered, and competitive in their day. Models such as the KTT racing machine and the post-war MAC, MSS, Venom, and Thruxton range earned a devoted following among sports riders and clubmen. Velocettes were known for refined engine character, accurate handling, and close attention to detail in an era when most British factories concentrated on mass-produced twins.

Velocette workshop manuals cover the single-cylinder engine and its valve gear, lubrication, carburetion, ignition and magneto systems, clutch, gearbox, brakes, and electrical and wiring details. Factory specifications, clearances, and maintenance procedures are essential for keeping these elderly machines running correctly and safely in modern traffic conditions.

These manuals are mainly of interest to classic motorcycle enthusiasts, specialist restorers, and independent workshops that care for vintage British singles. Because Velocette parts and specialist knowledge can be scarce, accurate factory documentation is especially valuable for preserving these motorcycles and keeping them roadworthy.
