1930 AJS 349cc Model R6
Registration no. BS 9550
Frame no. R107583
Engine no. R6/107583

AJS were famous for their manufacture of quality sporting motorcycles, especially during the 1920s and 30s. This Banbury-eligible twin-port OHV R6 was acquired by the deceased owner in approximately 2003, after it had been re-imported from Germany. The vendor advises us that the late owner stripped the machine and rebuilt it, including the engine and gearbox. Indicators and a solid-state regulator were fitted. Thereafter he used the machine occasionally between 2005 and 2015/16. Approximately two years ago, we are advised that the magneto and dynamo were rebuilt. This is the last time that the machine was run, and it will therefore require some re-commissioning, tidying of the wiring, and checking over prior to further use by a new owner. Whilst not fitted, a headlamp and battery accompany the machine. Documentation comprises a current V5C, purchase receipt, photocopy handbook and parts book, photographs, and sundry other papers.
