Almost identical to the Matchless G80 , both were produced in the same Associated Motor Cycles (AMC) London factory from 1945 to 1966, the AJS Model 18 was developed from a design from the 1930s, despite which it was still being manufactured 30 years later. The 18 was updated when a springer frame rear suspension was made available for 1949, to become the Model 18S.

Due to workload, this 1947 AJS Model 18 on offer has been stored in the corner of the garage for a few years. Sadly, the late vendor was working on the AJS but didn’t manage to get it back on the road. It comes attached to a Steib S250 single-seat sports sidecar. This 18 will need to be fully recommissioned before placing back on the road. A worthy project, it is offered complete with an old-style V5, various paperwork back to the 1980s, photocopies of handbooks and lots of additional information with regards to the model.
