Matchless is one of the oldest names in British motorcycling, manufactured in Plumstead between 1899 and 1966, it was the amalgamation with AJS in 1931 that formed Associated Motor Cycles which continued until the group's closure in the 1960s. The Matchless 600cc G11, together with its equivalent AJS Model 30, was developed to compete with the big vertical twins being offered by the rival BSA/Triumph group at the time. The G11CSR was launched by AMC as a sports model featuring a lightweight frame developed for the off-road singles together with a Siamese 2-into-1 exhaust, slim alloy mudguards, tan vinyl seat and distinctive chrome-plated suspension covers.

From a deceased estate, this CSR has been part of an enthusiast's small private collection for the last 20 years. Unusually, for one of these bikes produced mainly for the US market the V5C, showing engine no. 58/G11CS 06750, suggests it has spent its entire life in the UK, being first registered in August 1958. An attractive bike presented in authentic condition, it looks to have been restored at some point, whilst maintaining a good degree of originality. A rare model that was only produced for one year in 1958, it has been stood for a while, so will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a current V5C.
