For sale: 1957 AJS Model 30 - £3,300
This 600cc Ajay belongs to one of our guys who needs to reclaim some garage space and whittle down his collection.
It's a magneto model, has new rear shocks, a new rear tyre, and new clutch plates. It's a first-kick starter, ticks over smoothly and at low revs, and being a '57 bike it's tax and MOT free here in the UK.
If you're new to these AJS's, these are solid, dependable bikes built upon a very rigid bottom end. Handling is surefooted. Brakes are adequate to good. And we think the price is very fair—and it might go up over the next year or so, but it ain't coming down unless something catastrophic happens in the classic bike scene.
Which means that if you fancy an AJS for a change, we can't see you going far wrong with this one. And you might even turn a small profit a year from now. But our guy needs his garage back, so the Model 30 is for sale. And yes, you might haggle it down a little. But don't expect much. It's the right price for a very decent bike.
If you're interested, email us below with a phone number or something and we'll pass on your details. UK delivery is possible for the price of fuel or something.
UPDATE: This bike has now sold!!
