1939 VELOCETTE GTP SOLD

Velocette GTP
I HAVE BEEN OFFERED ANOTHER PROJECT, SO MAY CONSIDER SENSIBLE OFFERS . NO ROOM TO KEEP THE VELOCETTE MY CAR AND ANOTHER BIKE
This is re advertised after someone viewed the bike at the start of April , they left a deposit on condition they could pay for it at the end of April. This has come and gone with the buyer asking for another two weeks to pay . Unfortunately this has passed and he cannot raise the balance, so I have run out of listening to promises. also I have had to cancel plans I had made with the money from the sale of the bike, this costing me money.
I HAVE REDUCED THE PRICE AS I RECEIVED A DEPOSIT WHICH IS NOW LOST.
It is a 1939 model and is unusual , being a 2 stroke single cylinder with twin exhausts, also the oil tank is alongside the petrol tank and supplies oil to the crankcase controlled by the throttle. The faster the bike goes, the more oil is fed to the engine. This was revolutionary for its time but is now used by some modern bikes
It was completely restored some time ago as can be seen from the photos, before and after and has covered less than 400 miles.
I bought this bike as it was the same model as my first bike over 60 years ago, bringing back happy memories. However the whole family were shocked when I said I was going to ride it on the road after so many years not riding a bike, so I have sadly bowed to pressure for a quiet life. It would be a shame for it to just sit in my garage and be polished when someone could enjoy riding it. I found when running the bike the dynamo wasn`t charging as it should so I have had it rebuilt by Rutland Dynamos . After fitting it I replaced the old contact type voltage control and fitted a solid state system , also though I was told the battery was new, it failed to hold its charge so I`ve fitted a brand new one. Total cost £240
However I am happy to keep the bike as an investment and have something to polish and admire.
The chance of buying a GTP is very rare with one hardly ever coming on sale and to see one in this superb condition is even rarer. For more photos click link or paste - details above details below
PLEASE IF YOU DON`T HAVE THE MONEY DON`T BID, I HAVE WASTED NEARLY 10 WEEKS SO FAR. I`VE HAD TO CANCEL PLANS COSTING MONEY.
CASH ONLY ON COLLECTION OR BANK TRANSFER
I MAY BE INTERESTED IN A CHEAP PX TO GIVE ME SOMETHING TO RESTORE.
