Description

1952 AJS Type: 16M Trial Serial number: 74499 French registration 2 000 / 3 000 € The AJS Model 16 is an English motorcycle manufactured by Associated Motorcycles at the former Matchless factory in Plumstead, London. It has a rigid frame and a 350 cc engine. It was developed in 1945 from the World War II Matchless G3/L military motorcycle. Having proved its worth in wartime service, the single-cylinder 350 cc remained in production and was sold in large numbers on the civilian market well into the 1960s. Simple and practical, the Model 16 required minimal maintenance and was highly economical, ideal in times of gasoline rationing. The company also produced an almost identical motorcycle under the Matchless name, the Matchless G3L. The only difference between the two was that the Matchless had a magneto at the rear of the cylinder, while the AJS magneto was at the front. 1952 AJS Type: 16M Trial Serial number: 74499 French registration 2 000 / 3 000 € The AJS Model 16 is a British motorcycle manufactured by Associated Motorcycles at the former Matchless factory in Plumstead, London.
