This unique and unconventional machine was widely used by over 50 police departments in England; its uncanny silence enabled the “Bobby” to patrol back streets and alleys at night without disturbing residents. The angular styling was not popular with the buying public and sales declined until production stopped in 1970, when Velocette closed their doors.
