By 1920 AJS had one of the first English machines to incorporate a 350cc OHV engine into it's specification and five years later a 500cc option was available. At this time the massive AJS range comprised a 750 V-twin Brooklands bike, a four in line air-cooled engine, side-valve models of varying capacities, OHC singles for a TT attempt, and 1000cc V-twin world record special, all available until 1931 when the old firm was taken over by the opposing Collier dynasty, owners of the Matchless brand. This association was to last some four decades.

'MK 5577' is an excellent 500cc example of the revered AJS G8 (to become known as the 'big port',) lightweight and fast with drum brakes, the G8 was extremely popular amongst sporting motorcyclists of the day and remains one of the most sought-after of sporting Vintage 'flat tankers'. Acquired as a restored machine in 2015, it has been carefully maintained since and proved to be a very reliable ‘and great fun’ machine during the vendor’s ownership. He advises a routine check-over before use. An excellent opportunity to acquire a lovely example of one of the most sought-after sporting 'flat tankers' of the 1920s. The paperwork file includes old tax discs and MOTs.
