The Matchless Model H was built in many variations, including with a M.A.G. engine. The outfit was very advanced for its time, having overhead inlet and side exhaust valves, rear suspension and a fully sprung sidecar. The M.A.G.-powered machines were particularly well specified, being equipped with a kick-starter, three-speed countershaft gearbox, fully enclosed chain drive and rear hub brake. When civilian production recommenced after the Great War, the Model H was an early addition to the range. It was unusual in being offered as a motorcycle combination only, with integral sidecar chassis, sprung sidecar wheel, swinging-arm rear suspension and electric lighting. One of the most capable motorcycle combinations of its day, the it lasted in production until 1927.

This c.1922 Matchless H2 combination was purchased many years ago by a collector of vintage bikes, who intended to begin a restoration, which sadly never happened, though the tank was removed and painted and is included in the sale. The sidecar is in generally good condition but will also need some restoration. We are advised that the engine turns over with compression, so it ought to make a straightforward project for the new owner. The registration number does not appear in DVLA searches and may need to be applied for. RF 60 logbook on file.
