Hi Ash,
Looks like AJS 16MS (or Matchless equivalent) and a mate has one that I did the engine/box/primary drive on very recently. He did the tinware and took photos, so I have emailed those pics and await an answer.

Forgot to say Johnny has the Matchless version, so he might know.

Cheers Ian ... looking a bit like this new one :-

Matchless G9 G12 Petrol Tank made in India

Hi Ash,
Just had a message from the AJ guy here and he says it's the same as his 16MS as I thought.

When I Googled that though Ian, the 16MS underside looked different but the Matchless one I posted looks identical. What do you reckon?
