350 Velocette

.









The rarest of the rare.

Here's a pic of Wombat North's father on a "Works" 350 velocette in 1940. This bike was the first velocette with a sprung frame but no shocks. This was one of only 2 bikes the factory built for the 1940 Isle of Man TT but as the war had broken out they were sent to Australia where his father was asked to ride one of them as he was Australian champion(3 day road trials).
Pictures are from Bathurst races Australia 1940 500cc class. Great pics for that time.
