Velocette
by Ivan Rhodes
Velocette (pronounced velo-set) is
an icon of the classic British motorcycle scene. Engineering excellence
mattered more than the whims of the market to the Goodman family, owners
of Veloce, Ltd., manufacturer of the Velocette motorcycle.
This painstakingly assembled book details the history of the machines
development and competition successes, as well as the story of the
family behind the marque. Run with honesty and integrity, the company
gained a loyal following and a reputation for building quality machines
before closing its doors in 1971, beset by the economic factors that
caused the downfall of the whole of the British motorcycle industry. Paperback
- 7-3/4" x 10-1/2" - 192 pages - 226 b/w
