Text includes “Silent, smooth as a car. Started by hand shaft drive (no chains). 120MPG. Convenient transport: when you own an LE Velocette you are independent of trams, buses and trains. Go where you like, when you like. Velocette’s super-springing assures a comfortable ride over any road. Velocette ‘Silent Twin’ model LE. Luxury lightweight. It is silent, smooth and handy!”

After WWII, British company Velocette sought “to capture what it saw as a developing need for personal transport and created the LE model (for ‘Little Engine’).” Ref: Wiki.
