Velocette made only twelve Dirt Track KTD machines and this particular machine, ridden by "Smiling" Jim Kempster, may well have been the prototype.

It was powered by a "Velo" 411cc motor and whilst being notably quick, with a capacity 90cc less than the 500cc machines it was up against proved it simply could not compete.
