I rode a Mac 250 Velo when I was a Kid, I remember the front had a 23 inch speedway wheel, no brakes, I rode it around the paddock at Cape otway Light house, when my eldest brother was the Light house keeper there, they are a very nice engine.

MOV =250cc.  MAC=350cc.

 MOV crankcase (&engine no)  with MAC barrell etc = 350cc road bike registered as cheap 250cc rego. Ah the good ol' days!
 
 cheers pancho.
