The Appeal
Marketed as a ‘super sports’ bike and favoured for its success in competition use, the AJS Silver Streak proved a popular machine in period and was especially advanced for its time.
We’re delighted to offer this original and highly usable 1938 350 cc example which exhibits a charming patina to its chrome and paintwork. Benefitting from recent professional cylinder head work and now in good running order, it’s ready to be enjoyed as-is or else, become the basis for rolling restoration. With road tax/MOT-exempt status, this pre-war sporting AJS would be the perfect addition to any collection of vintage motorcycles.
