Like its major rival from Bracebridge Street, the 7R benefited from the experience gained with each passing season with refinements being incorporated into the following year's model. The models 29bhp rose steadily over its production life with the final models producing in the region of 39bhp. Of equal importance in aiding the 7R maintain its position at the front of the field was the attention paid to reducing the frontal area and consequently improving the machines overall performance. A side effect of the sliming down of the fuel and oil tanks and the reduction in the overall height of 7R was that it ended up as being one of the most attractive motorcycles ever produced.
This particular machine dates from the final year of 7R production and consequently represents the 7R at the zenith of its development in its original form. Although the 7R would continue to be available thanks to the efforts of Colin Seeley, the good looks of the AMC chassis would be lost.
This machine has been in the current owners hands for sixteen years and is described as being in good condition throughout. It is offered with a Classic Club certificate number 110270.
