Commencing in the motorcycle business in the late 1800s, by 1914’s Junior TT, a magnificent first and second place was scored by AJS. From 1925 onwards, prefixes were used, with the numbering system being H for 1927 and K for 1928. Introduced a few years earlier, the 500cc side-valve succeeded an AJS range that had consisted of only of 350cc singles and 800 V-twins.

This charming Vintage AJS has had much money spent on the restoration. It was completely stripped and re-bored with a new piston and rings, valves & springs, and all-new bearings. The tank has been professionally made, as the old tank was shot, and all fastenings and fittings have been made out of a stainless nickel. There is also a new stainless exhaust system with the machine, with all the tinware and frame completely stripped and painted to a high standard. Since its completion the AJS has been used and the current vendor has enjoyed it never letting him down. It comes complete with a current V5C, Bruce Main Smith handbooks, and some DVLA correspondence.
