After victory in the 1920 Junior TT, AJS's new overhead-valve 350 racer scored a memorable double the following year, Tom Sheard winning the Junior race, and Howard Davies the Senior - the first time such a feat had been achieved on a 350. The production version made its debut in November 1922, delighting clubmen everywhere with its 'racer on the road' performance. A right-first-time design destined to achieve countless successes in the hands of privateers, the overhead-valve 350 AJS - latterly known as the 'Big Port' - changed only in detail before being superseded by a much-revised M6 model for 1929. This M6 Big Port was rebuilt as a 'special' in 1981 and has belonged to the vendor for the last 30 years. Not run since acquisition, the machine is described as in presentable condition with good mechanicals. Offered with an old-style V5C and expired MoT (1989).
