The vendor purchased this overhead-valve AJS from Adrian Moss approximately 12 years ago but has no knowledge of its history. Following a conversation with Adrian Moss, he advises us that Bob Jones, former captain of the Swindon Robins speedway team, built the bike. Adrian purchased the AJS from Bob Jones' widow circa 20 years ago but no other history is known. The AJS was originally a road bike, and the frame and engine are non-matching. Re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration will be required before further use.

The machine is offered with expired tax discs for the period 1977 to 1983 (missing 1982) for the registration number 'MW 4091'; however, according to the HPI/DVLA database, the VRN is now assigned/recorded to another vehicle (a Volkswagen Tiguan). Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the validity of this motorcycle's registration number as well as its completeness, originality and mechanical condition prior to bidding. There are no documents with this Lot, which is sold strictly as viewed.
