It actually is the 2nd to the last Velocette off the assembly line as it was made with the Birmingham England plant was in receivership and scheduled to close. This bike was imported to California but was never sold by the importer. This was bought from the collection of the importer in May 2006. Thanks to proper storage (excepting the petrol left in the tank) she is in very good condition.
The LE stands for "little engine" and was first produced in 1949. This one is a MK3 with 4 speeds, a kick starter, shaft drive, rubber mounted engine, water cooled, 200cc flat head opposing twin.
