Matchless consumed AJS in 1931, sending AJS production to South London. The two names existed side by side producing essentially the same machines. The ‘Model 2’ (aka the Model 2A), was at the top of the range of motorcycles offered as an AJS. The Model 2 AJS had its roots established in the 1920s with the Model X and became so successful that production continued in various guises until 1940, with a well-deserved reputation for longevity and reliability and a credible alternative to the side-valve Brough offerings. This beautifully presented Model 2 has been restored with great respect to originality and has subsequently proved to be a very comfortable long legged machine, well capable of long runs 'two up' (the rear carrier specially constructed for Tan-sad attachment). An outstanding opportunity to acquire a significant, nicely restored pre-war V-twin. The paperwork file includes a re-bound original handbook, various restoration receipts, old MOTs, service and parts books, a wiring diagram, copies of period road tests, as well as a current V5C Registration Document.
