AJS was acquired by the London-based Collier Bros. (AMC) in 1931. Production was shifted to Plumstead Road and the AJS was produced alongside the Matchless motorcycles. Under AMC the AJS badge may have been put on the "bread and butter" Matchless motorcycles, but the Colliers were mindful of the AJS racing heritage and used the name on some innovative racing machinery. These racing bikes kept the AJS name alive.

This very handsome AJS A2 has been restored to concourse condition and it is credited to Colin Wall who has restored many hundreds of machines for the National Motorcycle Museum. Restored at any cost to ‘catalogue standard’, this AJS must be one of the best available and a Salon Prive Best of Show Concours d'Elegance 2020 winner, which is the top UK Concours event in the UK. It has always been kept in the dry, mainly the current vendor's office. Some light recommissioning before use will be required. It is being offered complete with a current V5C, a good history file with old pictures, old tax discs, and an old RF60 logbook.
