Property of a deceased's estate
1958 AJS 348cc Model 16MS
Registration no. UBM 226
Frame no. A59159
Engine no. 54/16MS 22926 (see text)

AMC announced its post-war range of AJS and Matchless heavyweight singles in June 1945. Coded 16M and G3L respectively, the two 350cc models could be distinguished by the different magneto position: forward of the cylinder in the AJS, behind it in the Matchless. This AJS 16MS has been fitted with the engine from an earlier (1954) model. Presented in 'oily rag' cosmetic condition, the machine carries a tax disc expiring in July 1999, which is when it may have been last used. The engine turns over with compression, but otherwise the machine's mechanical condition remains unknown. Sold strictly as viewed, it comes with old/current V5C documents and a quantity of expired MoTs. It should be noted that the V5C and HPI list a different engine number ('E.32505'). The engine currently installed ('22926') was previously in another AJS in this sale, registered 'KNR 616' (Lot 523).
