Periodically I look through a folder of Velocette publicity photographs....those taken by professional photographers either from an older weekly motorcycling magazine such as "The MotorCycle" or "MotorCycling" or perhaps a photo bureau such as Fox Photos, Keystone Press Agency etc.
 To the copyright holders of all these I acknowledge their ownership.
As well four of the following images were kindly sent to me from Dai Gibberson, who has  worked tirelessly on a Velocette technical site as well as a Yahoo blogsite for Velocette discussion.

I acquire still Veloce Ltd publicity photos, often from different sources....in some of the photos to follow they came off calendars from the early 1980's.....
Veloce Ltd of course manufactured the Velocette motorcycle....
So I'm not always sure of their origin, but there is a good chance they came from "The MotorCycle" and "MotorCycling" , the copyright of which is now held by Morton's Motorcycle Media in the UK and to who I acknowledge credit if applicable.
