Weighing as much as the 500cc model from which most of them were derived, but considerably less powerful, the typical British '350' of the 1940s/1950s 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. This motorcycle is something of an AMC hybrid, its engine having the forward-mounted magneto of the AJS while the crankcases are stamped 'G3/L' (Matchless). The machine is presented in 'oily rag' cosmetic condition; the engine turns over freely with good compression, but otherwise the machine's mechanical condition is not known. Sold strictly as viewed, the machine is offered with old/current V5C documents; DVLA correspondence; and a quantity of expired MoTs.
