Matcless G2 1958-66, 248cc ohv single, 330lb, 66mpg, 70mph.
At a time when most other manufacturers were going to unit-construction, AJS produced this single, which retained a separate gearbox. Employing butterfly valve springs & an oil tank in the engine case casting it was a brave attempt, which never succeeded. Heavy for a lightweight the handling improved with the AMC front forks on later models. The 14CSR was the sports model with improved styling & suspension.

Matchless finally got their "unit" or unit style 250cc into shape when the CSR model was introduced for 1962. It has a much stronger crankshaft and big-end, similar in style to the competition bikes. Higher compression, sorted clutch and mainshaft, better front brake and much better style than the earlier versions.
