Regrettably for sale is my 1931 Velocette GTP. I have owned it since 2017 and it is simply gorgeous.<br /> <br /> It's a very tidy example of one of the most up market 250cc two-strokes of the early '30s.<br /> <br /> I am parting with it as I just don't get to ride it that much.<br /> <br /> It's been restored at some point to quite a high standard and was re-registered in 2012. <br /> <br /> The bike has lived in my music studio until a few months ago, when it was commissioned by Steve at JAL Restorations for the summer (detailed notes available).<br /> <br /> All rubbers replaced since these pictures.<br /> <br /> It starts on first / second kick and sounds superb, both mechanically and on the twin exhaust note!<br /> <br /> The dynamo is charging well, and the brakes are surprising adequate.<br /> <br /> 3-Speed gearbox & clutch are very good.<br /> <br /> The bike comes with V5C, registration is 931 YUE, declared manufacture 1931, so just post-vintage class.<br /> <br /> It is registered as an historic vehicle therefore road tax is free. It is also pre-60 MOT exempt.<br /> <br /> Frame number is GP2029<br /> <br /> Engine number is GA 3945 and these numbers match the V5C doc.<br /> <br /> Mileage unknown (no gauges!).<br /> <br /> Cosmetically the bike is good and pretty, but definitely not concours or as new.<br /> <br /> The enamel on the frame is all excellent apart from a few very minor stone chips here and there.<br /> <br /> Tank & mudguards have been stoved to a high standard, there's a tiny chip on the tank under the headstock, (there’s no contact there now). The rear mudguard has a few blemishes and marks in the paint.<br /> <br /> The paint on the wheel hubs is a bit thin and has been adequately touched-up in places. The rims are nicely enamelled and coach lined. Spokes are painted black also and mostly look A1.<br /> <br /> Front tyre is an excellent hardly used ribbed Avon Speedmaster, rear is Ching Cheng budget type and also hardly used.<br /> <br /> There is no fin damage on the engine.<br /> <br /> So, in general a pretty little light-weight example of early 30’s machinery. Great running order.<br /> <br /> Please email, call or text with any questions - [email protected] / 07990 521 228.<br /> <br /> The bike is garaged in London (Hampstead, NW3).<br /> <br /> Happy to arrange nationwide delivery (at your expense) with Chas Mortimer or another courier of your choosing. <br /> <br /> Payment by bank transfer.
