Velocette KTT

Velocette's enormously successful KTT series had been developed for 14 years when the MkVIII appeared at the Earls Court Show in 1938. Priced at £120, the model was another 'race replica' in the great Velocette tradition and included a host of innovations seen on the works machines that had won that year's Junior TT.
With lightweight alloy parts, sophisticated oiling and a pioneering suspension design, it showed all the benefits of development by a consistent programme of racing.
