This machine was restored by John Williams over a number of years. A respected Christchurch craftsman, John completed the project in 1985 and passed the machine to Bob Scott, also a well-known vintage enthusiast from Christchurch. Bob enjoyed 6,700 miles on the MAC before passing the machine to Brian Wright, who is better known for his interest in fine Bentley machines. This might be reflected in the low miles Mr Wright clocked up before divesting the machine to its current owner in 2002. A true classic, the MAC offered all the qualities for which the Velocette was famous: high build quality, up-to-the minute race-tested design and relentless reliability.
