The best-known AJW motorcycles were the Grey Fox and the Red Panther, but the company also fielded a Silver Fox, Silver Vixen, Vixen, Flying Vixen, Flying Fox (with a Rudge Ulster engine) and Speed Fox. With a torpedo-shaped fuel tank and full duplex tubular loop frame, the latter’s engine had twin-port heads and double exhaust pipes down each side. Enthusiastic AJW owners included Brooklands racing champions Claude Temple and Joe Wright. Production was limited, so they became fairly exclusive, with just 250 motorcycles produced in their best year.

On offer is a very rare AJW Flying Fox, with just a handful known to have survived. This particular model is fitted with a Rudge 500cc Python engine and gearbox. Purchased by the current owner in 2007, it has been in regular use at many VMCC events. There are many receipts on file, including those for the purchase and fitting of the operational Rudge lighting system. Reported to be in very good order throughout, 'AYE' represents an excellent opportunity to purchase and acquire a rare machine, noted for its sporting credentials and its good looks.
