The seller offers for sale this 1966 Jawa Senior Velorex 350, powered by a 350 cc two-stroke twin-cylinder engine. Presented in deep blue with fine gold pinstriping, this Jawa 350 is paired with a matching Velorex sidecar to form a characterful and increasingly sought-after vintage combination. The odometer indicates 39,500 km. According to the seller, the machine underwent restoration and overhaul work in 2015, carried out by a recognised Jawa specialist in eastern Germany, and the seller states that this work included a complete engine overhaul, an overhaul of the carburettors, and renewal of the wiring, lighting and ignition. The seller further indicates that the chrome was redone, that new rims, spokes and tyres were fitted, and that the Velorex sidecar was refurbished and repainted to match the motorcycle. The combination is finished with twin chromed exhausts, and the seller notes a small scratch on the right-hand side of the tank. Overall the outfit is presented in good condition and makes for a distinctive and eye-catching classic.
The Jawa 350 is one of the most recognisable products of the Czechoslovakian motorcycle industry, built around a simple and robust air-cooled two-stroke twin-cylinder engine that earned a worldwide reputation for durability and ease of maintenance. Produced in great numbers from the 1950s onward and exported to well over a hundred countries, the 350 became a defining machine of its era and remains a familiar sight at classic gatherings today. The Velorex sidecar fitted here is equally evocative, produced in Czechoslovakia and very commonly paired with Jawa twins, with its lightweight, distinctively styled body turning the nimble Jawa into a practical family outfit. Together, a Jawa 350 and a Velorex sidecar represent a genuine piece of Eastern European motoring heritage, and well-kept, complete combinations like this one are becoming increasingly difficult to find, which makes them particularly appealing to collectors and enthusiasts of period two-stroke machinery.
