All four of the Stevens brothers had been in the motorcycle business since the end of the 1800s final years of the 19th century, however, it was only in 1911 thta their first “AJS” motorcycle, a 298cc machine, was made available to the public. Their first V- twin, the model D, was brought out in 1912. In the 1914 Junior TT, a magnificent first and second place was scored. From 1925 onwards, prefixes were used, with the numbering system being H for 1927 and K for 1928. Introduced a few years earlier, the 500cc side-valve succeeded an AJS range that had consisted of only of 350cc singles and 800 V-twins. For 1928 no less than eleven models were catalogued, ranging from a 250cc side valve to a 799cc V- twin.
This charming Vintage AJS has had much money spent on the restoration by Baz Staple President of The Sunbeam Motor Cycle Club. It was completely stripped and rebored with a new piston and rings, valves & springs, and all-new bearings. The gearbox has been upgraded to constant mesh. The tank has been professionally made, as the old tank was shot, and all fastenings and fittings have been made out of a stainless nickel. There is also a new stainless exhaust system with the machine, with all the tinware and frame were completely stripped and painted to a high standard. Since its completion the AJS has been used and the current vendor has enjoyed it and has never let him down. It comes complete with a current V5C, Bruce Main Smith handbooks, and some DVLA correspondence.
