Magnificent Matchless twins

Posted on on Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010 at 11:23 am

A pair of beautifully restored 750cc Matchless twins has been added to our ever-growing display.  They are examples of the hybrid AJS and Matchless models produced alongside Norton models by Associated Motor Cycles from 1964 to 1966. A late-1964 G15 MkII tourer and a 1965 G15 CSR sports, both feature a 750cc ohv Norton Atlas-type engine and AMC gearbox in an AJS/Matchless duplex frame with Norton forks and brakes. The 115mph CSR version, originally exported to the US and eventually returned to the UK, has twin carburettors, sweptback exhausts, dropped handlebars, rearset footrests a chrome-plated fuel tank and bright red paintwork.
