The MOV was Velocette's first cheap overhead-valve model, a 250 cc square-engined single introduced in 1933 to replace the costly-to-build K series. It sold well and earned a name for reliability and good handling. Its engine was stretched in stroke to make the 350 cc MAC, and a 350 version of the MOV was the basis of the wartime military bikes.
