1959 MATCHLESS G2 250CC
Registration Number: FSL 299
Frame Number: 4040
Recorded Mileage: 13, 337 miles
Associated Motor Cycles returned to the 250cc class in 1958 with a brace of all-new models. Shared by the AJS Model 14 and Matchless G2, the four-stroke, overhead-valve power unit incorporated its oil tank within the crankcase 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 and complemented by a telescopic front fork and swinging-arm rear suspension. Super sports 'CSR' roadsters arrived in 1962 and continued in production after the basic G2/ 14 was dropped in July 1963, finally disappearing from the range in 1966.
This very nice restored example is offered with a valid UK V5C document.
This motorbike will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees in Frome, Somerset, on Saturday 17th June 2023. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
