Following a win in the Junior TT of 1920, AJS's new 350 racer completed the unheard of double win, with success in the Senior TT of 1921. Known as the ‘Big Port’, the production version launched in November 1922, before being superseded by a much-revised M6 model for 1929. The revised engine possessed improvements such as dry-sump lubrication and enclosed rocker gear. The frame was redesigned to accommodate a saddle tank, and Webb forks replaced the earlier design.
The AJS has been restored to a high standard over the years, there are numerous invoices on file for work carried out in ownership. Mechanical work has included a complete engine overhaul with new pistons & rings, valves, and guides. This 1929 AJS M6 has been registered in the Isle of Man since 2005, and took part in the TT Centenary re-enactment, being flagged off by island resident Sir Norman Wisdom (see a copy of the signed photograph). The current vendor has had it on display in his house and has not used it much since its purchase in 2015.
Paperwork includes an Isle of Man registration document, and an expired MOT certificate, although the machine was imported into the UK in recent years. Previously registered in the UK as ‘SV 9547’ the registration shown is the old Manx number and does not now apply to this machine. Registration and light recommissioning will be required before use.
