Velocette MAC Project

I am selling this partly completed project as my plans have changed and I need the garage space.I call it my “MAC in a box” as it came dismantled mostly in a couple of boxes. The engine was partially complete but the gearbox was in pieces which was assembled by an established Velocette engineering company. The kick start was blanked off but I have added a kick start to it.The frame appears to be the front half of a pre/post war Velocette rigid frame with a swinging arm grafted onto the rear. The front forks are AMC.I believe it was used for sprinting so the engine came with a high compression piston. I had this replaced with a normal piston and new rings by the engineer I use for engine work. He checked out the engine and said it was in good shape. It has not yet run. The MAC engine is numbered MAC 15942).The magneto was refurbished by Peter de Kramer. It has not been used since.It had no wheels, but came with 2 hubs, the rear for a Velocette and the front for AMC forks. Both hubs were built into new stainless-steel rims with spokes by Salisbury Wheel Builders. Two new Avon Road Rider tyres were supplied and fitted by Vintage Tyre Supplies of Beaulieu and remain unused.Mudguards have been added. They remain unpainted as does the rest of the frame and cycle parts. It is not currently registered with the DVLC and so the above date of first registration is inaccurate as is the year of manufacture but the template for this advert does not permit it to remain blank. I have put in a nominal date based on what I estimate to be its vintage. It may have been registered at some time in the past but I have no knowledge of this. The same applies to the year of manufacture. The front part of the frame is likely to have been manufactured either just pre or post war. I don't know when the swinging arm unit was grafted onto it but I suspect it is likely to be in the 1950's. The project comes as seen in the photographs. The main components still to be sourced are the gear lever and linkage; the rear brake assembly, silencer, tank and seat.
