Weighing as much as the 500cc model from which most of them were derived, but considerably less powerful, the typical British 350 of the post-war era was not likely to be anyone's first choice as a fast sports bike. Rather, these honest, workaday mounts were chosen for other reasons, chiefly their inherent strength, dependability and economy. AMC's offerings in this important market sector were the Matchless G3L and AJS Model 16, models identical in all respects, tank badge excepted. Testing one of these stalwarts in 1961, Motor Cycling recorded a modest mean top speed of 76mph but found that when toured at a relaxed pace across country an excellent 86 miles per gallon was achievable. This example has the alternator electrics and coil ignition introduced for 1958. Nothing is known of the history of this particular machine, which is offered without documents and sold strictly as viewed.
