After victory in the 1920 Junior TT, AJS's new overhead-valve 350 racer scored a memorable double the following year, Tom Sheard winning the Junior race and Howard Davies the Senior - the first time such a feat had been achieved on a '350'. The production version made its debut in November 1922, delighting clubmen everywhere with its 'racer on the road' performance. A right-first-time design destined to achieve countless successes in the hands of privateers, the overhead-valve '350' AJS - latterly known as the 'Big Port' - changed only in detail before being superseded by a much-revised M6 model for 1929.
Offered here is an example of the H6 'Big Port' sports roadster, which was newly introduced for 1927 together with the H7 racer. The machine is nicely presented and would respond well to detailing; the engine turns over with compression, but apart from that its mechanical condition is not known. Offered for re-commissioning and sold strictly as viewed, this example of one of the Vintage era's most sought-after motorcycles comes with old/current V5C documents and some expired MoTs. It should be noted that the frame number has been re-stamped and does not correspond with the correct AJS factory sequence.
