Following Royal Enfield's lead, AMC introduced a swinging-arm frame on its 'heavyweight' single-cylinder roadsters for 1949, initially for export only, models so-equipped being suffixed 'S'. The production scramblers also received the new frame that the works team had enjoyed since 1948; the trials models, though, kept the rigid back end. The scrambles engine went all-alloy for 1950 and subsequently received different cams and larger valves before being redesigned with short-stroke dimensions for 1955. A new duplex frame appeared for 1960 and there were further engine improvements. AMC continued to develop its four-stroke scramblers to the end of production in 1969, but by then the days of such heavyweight machines were at an end. Last taxed in November 1978, this AJS 16MCS will require re-commissioning at the very least, or possibly more extensive restoration, before returning to the road. The machine would respond well to detailing, and the engine turns over. Accompanying documentation consists of an old-style V5; a photocopy RF.60; an expired MoT (1979); and a hand-written 1984 receipt for the motorcycle. It should be noted that although the machine comes with the aforementioned V5 registration document, the registration 'RSF 103' is not recorded in the HPI/DVLA database. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the validity of the vehicle's registration number prior to bidding.
