1960 - 1966 Velocette VENOM CLUBMAN[edit | edit source]
From 1960, Velocette produced the Venom (and the Viper) in a Clubman racing version, fitted with TT Amal carburetors, a manually controlled BTH racing magneto (in place of the Lucas unit) and a close-ratio gearbox, with the compression ratio raised to 9.3 to 1. The Venom Clubman dispensed with the glass fibre enclosure and instead made a feature of highly polished crankcase and gearbox castings. Supplied with "rearset" controls, lowered handlebars and a steering damper, the Clubman also had a range of optional accessories including a "megaphone" exhaust silencer, a rev counter and light alloy wheel rims.
