VELOCETTE 500cc & 350cc MSS, VENOM, THRUXTON & VIPER 1954-1971 WORKSHOP MANUAL & ILLUSTRATED PARTS MANUAL - Paperback

204 pages and more than 60 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of two original Velocette Factory Manuals, the March 1971 service manual, part number 484/11R and the January 1974 illustrated parts manual, part number F482/7R.

The original 124-page factory service manual covers the 1954-1971 range of 350cc and 500cc machines including the Viper, Venom and MSS models and it also includes a 30-page supplement for the Thruxton, Scrambler and the Sports and Clubman models. This manual will also be of use to owners of the rare Floyd Clymer 'Indian Velo' which utilized either the MSS/Venom or the Thruxton engine.

The original 76-page illustrated parts manual also includes a 20-page supplement for the 'special' machines and covers the 500cc MSS, Venom, Clubman (Mk. I & II), Scrambler, Thruxton and Endurance models plus the 350cc Viper, Clubman (Mk. I & II) and Scrambler.

Owners of the 350cc and 500cc Velocette models are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection of the multitude of originals and reprints of the various manuals that have recently flooded the online marketplace. Based on the factory part numbers there were approximately 20 service and parts manuals published during the 17-year production run of these machines and the earlier manuals do not include information on the Clubman, Scrambler and Special Viper variants or the Thruxton, Clubman, Scrambler and Special Venom models. However, the manuals selected for this reprint are those that include all of the 350cc & 500cc models and their variants manufactured by Velocette from 1954 to 1971.
