The third of Velocettes overhead valve high camshaft single cylinder designs, the 500cc Velocette MSS motorcycle was announced in 1935. The first of these models had been the 250cc engine of 1933, which was joined for 1934 by a long-stroke 350cc version - the MAC. In creating the MSS, Veloce company kept to the basic design, combining the MACs 96mm stroke with a larger bore to create its new 500cc, while the engine went into a new frame derived from that of the racing KTT.
The MSS disappeared from Veloce Limiteds range in 1948 while the company concentrated on the LE, reappearing in 1954 with a new swinging arm frame and Hall Greens own telescopic front fork. The engine too was updated, gaining square bore and stroke dimensions of 86x86mm along with an alloy cylinder head and barrel.
