The AJS 37A-T trials bike is a very rare machine indeed, with fewer than 100 of these models produced between 1969 and 1970. Built around a torquey single-cylinder two-stroke engine and a lightweight Reynolds-tubed frame, the 37A-T was extremely well made and, with certain modifications, was able to achieve some success on the trials scene.
 
This 1969 example was bought by the seller in 2024, when its engine and gearbox had already been rebuilt to a “very high standard” by Paul Powell of Cotton Motorcycles. Since then, the seller has spent well over £3,000 completing its recommissioning, including respraying the original petrol tank, rebuilding the forks and fitting a custom-built chrome exhaust, silencer and aluminium airbox.
 
The repainted green frame and silver petrol tank are bright and free of imperfections, and the original aluminium mudguards have been polished. The bike is to standard specification, the only exception being the reed block set-up on the carburettor, which was fitted in 2024 alongside new handlebars and clutch and brake levers.
 
The seller states, “The bike starts and runs beautifully and, being very light, is very smooth and easy to ride and control”. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an outstanding example of a truly rare British trials bike.

BEFORE YOU BUY 

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions. 

✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 

✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes, and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 

✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection 

or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase. 

✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalised, or heritage vehicle registration is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
