The best-known AJW motorcycles were the Grey Fox and the Red Panther but the company also fielded a Silver Fox, Silver Vixen, Vixen, Flying Vixen, Flying Fox (with a Rudge Ulster engine) and Speed Fox. With a torpedo-shaped fuel tank and full duplex tubular loop frame, the latter’s engine had twin-port heads and double exhaust pipes down each side. Enthusiastic AJW owners included Brooklands racing champions Claude Temple and Joe Wright. Production was limited so they became fairly exclusive, with just 250 motorcycles produced in their best year.

This rare surviving 1931 AJW Silver Fox boasts a 350cc twin-port Villiers sports engine which made it a very nippy machine in its day. Only a handful of this model are known to have survived. It is not known when the AJW was restored but it was purchased by the late vendor in 1978 and has formed part of an extensive collection ever since. It has not been ridden for sometime and will need light recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C, and a duplicate old-style logbook showing two owners in-period.
