Though they often matched the weight of their 500cc counterparts, the typical British 350 motorcycles of the 1950s were far from being the top choice for speed enthusiasts due to their notably lower power output. Instead, these dependable, everyday workhorses were selected for different reasons, primarily their inherent robustness, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. AMC's offerings in this significant market segment included the Matchless G3L and AJS Model 16, nearly identical in all fundamental aspects, differing only in the positioning of the magneto and badging. When ‘Motor Cycling’ conducted a test of one of these stalwart models in 1961, they reported a modest average top speed of 76mph. However, when ridden at a leisurely pace through the countryside, these bikes could achieve an excellent fuel economy of 86 miles per gallon.

This 1961 example of the Matchless G3 350 was purchased by the current vendor as a project at the end of lockdown. During his ownership, he has completely rebuilt the engine, gearbox, wheels and electrics, and fitted new tyres and tubes. Described by the vendor as ‘running well and ready to go’. It comes complete with a current V5C.
