The AJS 500cc Model 18 and AJS Model 18S are 500cc British motorcycles almost identical to the Matchless G80 and both were produced in the same Associated Motor Cycles (AMC) London factory from 1945 to 1966. These bikes represent the end of the era of big British singles, as when AMC merged with Norton production concentrated on twins. The AJS Model 18 was developed from a design from the 1930s, despite which it was still being manufactured 30 years later. The 18 was updated when a springer frame rear suspension was made available for 1949, to become the Model 18S.

Presenting as an older restoration of the 500 OHV AJS model, this example is reported to be 'in running order', however, a new owner would need to carry out the usual checks prior to use. A reluctant sale, prompted only by the vendor's advancing years, the machine is offered with a paperwork file that includes an old buff logbook, a current V5C, an original parts book, owner's handbook, receipts (including those for a magneto overhaul) and old MOTS. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire an ‘easy to manage’ sporting 1950s AJS single. Please Note: The gearbox fitted to this motorcycle is not the original, however, the original (with reported third gear fault) is supplied with the machine.
