AN AJS 497CC MODEL 18S CIRCA 1958

AN AJS 497CC MODEL 18S CIRCA 1958 Registration number: SXV 523 Frame number: A61659 Engine number: 58/18S 131970 This Model 18 comes with an AJS & Matchless OC dating certificate and a letter showing that it left the factory on 28th February 1958 bound for Marriott's of Buckinghamshire; curiously, the V5C gives the date of first registration as 19th June 1956. Purchased from Lanivet Motors in Cornwall in 2012, the AJS was then comprehensively restored by Kickstart Classic Motorcycles of Frieston, Lincolnshire at a cost in excess of £13,000, with more than £7,000 being spent on parts alone (see invoice dated 17th November 2012 on file). Last serviced in February 2017, the machine comes with a current V5C document, MoT certificate (expired July 2013), sundry service invoices, and a CD of restoration photographs.

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.
