A. J. Stevens & Co Ltd produced motorcycles from 1897 and soon developed their own engines including parallel twins and 'V-twin' designs sold under the more recognisable AJS name. Success in racing soon followed with Eric Williams' win in the 1914 TT, the firm also taking second, third, fourth and sixth places beginning a long line of sporting achievements. An amalgamation with Matchless in 1931 formed Associated Motor Cycles which continued until the group's closure in the mid-1960s. The 1929 M4 was the first year of the saddle tank model and due to its lightweight and powerful engine is considered to be one of the earliest 'sports' machines. An older restoration, this 1929 3. 49hp De Luxe M4 is Banbury eligible and presented in ?oily-rag? condition. It has been part of a small private collection and has not run for a number of years, so will need some recommissioning before use but will make an interesting bike for vintage runs and rallies. This AJS Model M4 will be supplied with copies of manuals, some old MOTs and a current V5C.
