"This is what a motorcycle was considered to be before the Japanese two-wheelers took over the market in the 1960s and 1970s."

Description

This motorcycle is being sold from an estate, which means we only know what can be seen and read from the available information. It appears to be in largely original, unrestored condition with some wear and use-related marks. The engine has not been started but turns over and seems to have compression.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    It appears to be largely untouched. It has not been started for many years and therefore requires a thorough check. The engine turns over and seems to have compression. The fuel taps are leaking and the oil needs to be changed.

  • Exterior condition:

    Well-used paintwork, missing in some areas – including on the tank and front rim.

  • General condition:

    A good, largely untouched project that, with some hobby hours over the winter, should be back on the road by spring.

Facts about the model

The Matchless G80 was produced from 1949 to 1966. The AJS Model 18 is essentially the same motorcycle, built by the same parent company, AMC.
Matchless began producing motorcycles in 1901, having, like many others, previously manufactured bicycles. AJS was acquired by Matchless in 1931. Associated Motor Cycles (AMC) was established in 1938 as the parent company for Matchless and AJS. AMC later went on to acquire, among others, Norton.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
