The AJS Silver Streak was a British motorcycle launched in 1938 and described in the sales brochure as the 'aristocrats of the motorcycle world'. Produced with a choice of 250cc, 350cc and 500cc engines, the Silver Streaks were super sport machines with a special polished finish and hand-tuned engines. As many parts as possible were specially chrome plated, including the mudguards, headlamp, fork links, front and rear chain cases, oil and petrol tanks and even the tool-box. The Silver Streak had high ground clearance and a substantial crankcase shield which even made it a good competition motorcycle.
This bike was restored by Tony Trumen 13 years ago and when first shown at Stafford won the 'Best Bike' in the show. It has been shown at many events and received lots of awards to the extent that the vendor does not show it anymore. A current mileage reading is true ‘since restoration’. The vendor has gone through the machine and describes it as 'running well' and is said to have 'been running recently'. A very attractive machine, the Silver Streak is offered with a current V5C.
