The first NSU motorcycle appeared in 1901 followed by the first NSU car in 1905. WWII left NSU’s factories completely destroyed, but they resumed production of their pre-war models in 1946 and introduced the Max in 1953. By 1955 NSU had become the largest motorcycle producer in the world and was said to have inspired Soichiro Honda in his early designs.

The 1955 NSU Super Lux on offer has been fully restored by the previous owner to a very good standard. It is believed that the machine had seen very little work before the restoration was started. It was sorted for many years, unused until the restoration began. The current owner purchased the NSU from his friend and completed a few minor jobs on the machine. Since his ownership, the machine has been enjoyed at many events and club meets. This is possibly an NSU that was built under license at the famous Stevenage Vincent factory in the mid-1950s. A file with a current V5C and original NSU Super Lux instruction book comes with the machine.

AMC built a small number of competition singles for the 1946 season, totalling 100 machines, evenly split between Matchless and AJS. Differences between the standard machine and the competition singles were limited to items such as swept-up exhaust, alloy mudguards, a 21 inch front wheel and a four-inch section rear. With production being the primary concern changes over the next three years were limited, however, for 1950 the competition singles became more focused. The engine became all alloy and the wheelbase was reduced.

The 1963 AJS 16C on offer has been with the vendor for the last five years, in his ownership he has completed many jobs on the machine and it is presented very nicely and running well, with an addition from standard of an aluminium oil tank. The machine has correct numbers from new, as per the original RF60 log book. There is a file full of receipts and paperwork relating to the machine, with an original RF60 log book current V5C and workshop manual.
