Matchless was established in the late 1800s and was one of the first producers of motorcycles in the UK, unusually manufactured in London rather than in Birmingham like most others. A wide range of models was produced under the Matchless name between 1899 and 1966, ranging from small two-strokes to 750cc four-stroke twins. The marque had a long history of racing success with a Matchless ridden by Charlie Collier winning the first single-cylinder race in the first Isle of Man TT in 1907. An amalgamation with AJS in 1931 formed Associated Motor Cycles which continued until the group's closure in the mid-60s.

This Matchless T27 Delux was purchased by the vendor from the famous Murray's Museum on the Isle of Man in 2006. Since being purchased, the vendor has restored and repainted the Matchless, a very much loved machine and one of his favourites in the collection. There is a continuation RF60 logbook from 1940 until 1964 which indicates it was in the Worcestershire area in that time. Not used for a short time by the vendor, it may require the usual checks before placing it back on the road. The Matchless is offered with a current V5C, an old style V5, a continuation RF60 logbook and some Bruce Main-Smith parts catalogues.
