DOHC 350 Velocette after the Pazon ignition had been fitted
350CC VELOCETTE
DOUBLE KNOCKER REBORN At first sight Phil Price’s latest Velocette looks like another well prepared 350cc KTT from his collection, however on closer inspection, if you know about racing Velocettes, you realise that this is a very unusual machine. It is a copy of a 1936 double overhead cam (DOHC) works engine housed in a replica of a 1952 Works semi duplex frame. This extraordinary Velocette is a product of Phil’s long-term friendship with Nick Thomson, Velocette aficionado and engineering guru. Words Stuart Francis
