Reg No: TXS 331 Frame No: 9531

CC: 600 Engine No: 10207

• A nice old Royal Enfield Constellation

• Appears to be a fairly original machine

• Correct numbers machine

The first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901 by the Enfield Cycle Company of Redditch having previously manufactured bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines. Under various ownership, the name has continued through to the present day making it one of the longestlasting names in the two-wheeled world. The 700cc Constellation was one of the last British-made models produced in the Redditch factory before its eventual closure in the mid-sixties. The large capacity parallel twin design has recently made a comeback with the Indian made 650, proving very popular with a new generation of riders.

This Royal Enfield Constellation has a great patina to it, and we have been advised it is mostly original. A correct numbers machine that was used until the end of last year, the usual checks would be advised before use, due to the bike coming from short-term storage. This Constellation has been fitted with a Royal Enfield Interceptor engine. Offered with a current V5C.

1937 AJS Model 26

Estimate: £8,500 - £9,500*

Reg No: TSX 331 Frame No: 5523

CC: 350 Engine No: 46385

MOT: Exempt

• A handsome late Vintage AJS

• Older restoration

• Correct number machine

AJS was acquired by the London-based Collier Bros. (AMC) in 1931. Production was shifted to Plumstead Road and the AJS was produced alongside the Matchless motorcycles. Under AMC the AJS badge may have been put on the “bread and butter” Matchless motorcycles, but the Colliers were mindful of the AJS racing heritage, and used the name on some innovative racing machinery. These racing bikes kept the AJS name alive.The Model 26 was a semi-sports 350 model.

We have been informed that this AJS Model 26 was owned and restored by the AJS Club secretary, it was used by him for many years and he had enjoyed it in his ownership. The restoration has a nice patina to it now and still presents well. An ideal VMCC-eligible machine for many events. It’s offered complete with a current V5C.
