Property of a deceased's estate
1961 AJS 348c Model 8
Registration no. 383 ATP
Frame no. 11618 (overpainted)
Engine no. 61/8 2630
Associated Motor Cycles returned to the 250cc class in 1958 with a brace of all-new singles of neat design. Shared by the AJS Model 14 and Matchless G2, the four-stroke, overhead-valve power unit incorporated its oil tank within the crankcase (following Royal Enfield practice) and appeared to be of unitary construction, although a separate gearbox was retained. The cycle parts comprised an open, tubular steel frame, closed at the bottom by a pressed-steel channel, which was complemented by a telescopic front fork and swinging-arm rear suspension. A 350cc AJS Model 8/Matchless G5 version arrived for 1960 as an alternative to AMC's traditional 'heavyweight' 350s and remained in production until the end of 1962. Super sports 'CSR' roadsters arrived that year and continued in production after the basic G2/14 was dropped in July 1963, finally disappearing from the range in 1966.

Acquired by the late owner in October 1997 and last taxed in 1998, this AJS Model 8 is an older restoration which is offered for recommissioning or further restoration (the engine turns over). Accompanying documentation consists of a V5C Registration Certificate, HPI/DVLA check sheets, and an expired MoT (1998).
