Velocette made some pretty great motorcycles. They were famous for their middle weight singles, and their high quality construction. Alas, in the post-war period, they had some pretty major styling mis-cues. Their biggest was the Velocette LE motorcycle, which was a sort of cross between a motorcycle and a scooter. It was homely, and quite expensive. Those were bad qualities when competing with the Italians, who made beautiful and cheap scooters. The LE almost bankrupted Velocette, but luckily for them, municipal governments bought them for police use. Velocette also made the Viceroy scooter, as seen here. I'm sure this scooter was well made... but boy was it ugly! I think it remained a secret, as the brochure says, since I doubt many were sold.
