Licensed to produce Triumph Bonnevilles while the John Bloor-owned company developed an entirely new range of up-to-the-minute models, Les Harris also bought the rights to the Matchless name and manufactured the G80 at his factory in Newton Abbott, Devon. Despite its 'Made in England' badging, the Harris Matchless used an Italian-made frame and cycle parts, and was powered by an Austrian-made Rotax 4-valve single. Production began in 1987 and continued into the early 1990s, latterly to special order only.
Offered for sale by its second owner, this modern Matchless G80 has covered fewer than 2,500 miles from new and is presented in very good original condition. Not run since 2012, the machine comes with its original documentation, purchase invoice, warranty, owner's handbook and tool kit, and is offered with old/current V5C documents. Careful re-commissioning and the customary safety checks are advised before returning it to the road.
