• Owned for the last 20+ years
• Restored by the current owner
• Fast late vintage AJS R10
• It comes complete with a current V5C

The 500cc R10 was the big brother to the 350cc R7, the chain-driven overhead-camshaft AJS that superseded the famous and highly successful ‘Big Port’ overhead-valve model. It was a time when ‘camshaft’ engine designs were all the rage, with Velocette and Norton already hard at work on their own designs by the time the AJS version saw the light of day in late 1926.

The R10 on offer has been with the current owner for over 20 years. Purchased as a substantially complete restoration project, he spent several years restoring it to the current condition. The engine was stripped, checked and overhauled and parts were replaced where necessary. The head was checked, found to be in good order, and treated to new guides and lapped-in valves. The frame was stripped and painted along with the rest of the tinware. The wheels were renovated too. The R10 was used for a few years, went into short-term storage, and last year was placed back on the road. Described by the owner as ‘running very well’, it ought to perform as a decidedly speedy bike of the late pre-war period should. It comes with a current V5C.
