Introduced before WW2 the Matchless G3 became highly popular as the main motorcycle used by the British Army. After military upgrades, the Matchless G3/L was born. This modification dealt mainly with weight reduction and the “L” signifies “lightweight”. In all, over 80,000 motorcycles were produced for the military during WWII. Post war the G3 had several upgrades including a swing arm suspension, aluminium cylinder head, and uprated engine bearings. In 1958 an alternator was offered along with a steering damper, brake light and an air filter.
This standard and very late Matchless G3 was used up until 2 years ago, according to the vendor, and was in full running condition at the time and has not been used since. She comes with a substantial history file with many bills for parts. Also included are copies the instruction workshop manual, parts books and some tax discs spread over the years.
