5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading, 18 Dec 2007

By	Theo Z (Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Velocette: Bk. M2693: Technical Excellence Exemplified (Paperback)

for anyone with an interest in British Motorcycles and in particular the Velocette.Whilst not having as comprensive a coverage of the M series- viper,venom and Thruxton models as some people who show an interest in these machines may like,the book does excel in showing that there was so much more to this factory/family by being a well balanced appraisal of a truly innovative manufacturer.The focus of this work is on the the engineering and technical achievements of a company who were world class leaders of their time, spurred on by racing and world record breaking success.In particular the sections on the supercharged twin roarer and model O show that there was so much more to velocette than Thruxton's, whilst the drawing and notes on the proposed in line 4 cylinder engine look suprisingly similar to the type of design that the Japanese manufacturers used to such great effect(and still do)many years later.
