Pathe News

I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did...That's the ugliest vehicle I have ever seen
 
The Police were big buyers of The Velocette for both Urban and Rural Beat Bobbies. They were universally known as Noddy Bikes.. I can remember them being replaced by BSA Starfires which in turn were replaced by BMC Minivans in the West Mercia area.
The Velocette was a means of getting a Copper around a large beat at a leisurely pace, not for highspeed chases ( unless the rider got off it and started runing or so the story goes ).
