Description from the seller
This Velocette Venom Endurance Special is not an ordinary Venom Endurance.
Velocette released 5 Venom Endurance models with slightly different specifications than the regular Venom Endurance (also a rare sight) at the time.
Three were shipped to America, and two (with ascending engine numbers VM6038 and VM6039) to the Philippines.
The owner living in the Philippines in 1966 bought one of the two, and stored the motorcycle away in a nice spot, without riding it further. With the other Velocette sold in the Philippines, it was ridden around for a while, until it had an accident. The damaged motorcycle was sent back to Campos, the company that imported Velocettes, and there the owner of this example, which is now up for auction, bought the engine, the gearbox and several loose parts from it, which accompany this motorcycle.
In fact, this amounts to 1.5 very rare Velocette motorcycles.
The engine block number of the complete motorcycle: VM6038
The gearbox number of the complete motorcycle:
12-11401
The engine block number of the loose block: VM6039
The gearbox number of the loose gearbox:
12-11402
The original purchase receipt is even included, along with further Velocette documentation. Philippine registration/ purchase invoice/ EU customs papers.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
