Matchless consumed AJS in 1931, sending AJS production to South London. Essentially the two names existed side by side producing essentially the same machines. Also known as the ‘Model 2’, the V-twin 2A was at the top of the range of motorcycles offered as an AJS. Its production began at Wolverhampton before the move south and by 1932 acquired the Matchless X engine. Popular as an export and a sidecar machine, the model was discontinued after the war.

First registered in London on the 1st of July 1937 this example still retains its original transferable registration number. The previous owner owned this machine from 1997, subsequently in 2003, the magneto was rebuilt (bill to hand). It has a good history in the form of an old ‘buff’ logbook going back to 1949 & an old Green logbook from 1967. The current vendor has carried out work since the acquisition and it is now said to be running well. It is offered with a V5C registration document, BMS copy handbooks and manuals.
