The AJS Model 18 was developed from a design from the 1930s, despite which it was still being manufactured 30 years later. The AJS was updated when a springer frame rear suspension was made available for 1949, to become the Model 18S. The suspension was a vast improvement on the rigid rear end - which had given a bouncy ride. Each of the two 'Candlestick' shocks held only 50cc of SAE 20 weight oil. They were prone to leaks and were replaced by the larger diameter 'Jampot' shocks on the 1951 version.
A 1951 AJS Model 18, it was formally owned by the late Geoff Davies past president of the VMCC. The motorcycle was purchased in 1988 and used for many club runs and events. The bike has not been used for the past year, due to ill health. Believed to be a correct numbers machine, it is offered here with a V5C and various paperwork. It will of course require recommissioning before use.
