AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The AJS Model 18 500cc has been fully restored. The original parts are the frame, the engine block, the carburetor, the fuel and oil tanks, the stands, the headlight, the levers, and the mudguard brackets.
Correct for 1947, but renewed are, among other things, the fenders and tool chest, the odometer, the sketch plates, the CP gearbox, the dynamo, and the exhaust.
Deviations for the 1947 model year are the front fork and front hub (1949), the stainless steel rims and spokes, the rear light (Lucas 467), the primary chain case, a 12-volt electrical system, and the electronic ignition.
The engine block has new crankpins, big-end bearings, small-end bearings. The piston, piston pin, valves, valve guides and camshafts have been renewed.
CP gearbox has been overhauled and the friction plates in the clutch housing are new, as well as all chains and gears.
Amal 89B carburetor has been refurbished by a specialist, including a new throttle slide.
The exhaust bend and the muffler are new.
The electrical system is now 12 volts, all wiring is new and the alternator (E3AR) has been professionally rebuilt. Beck electronic ignition.
Lucas 467 replica rear LED taillight; lighting is LED, reflectors renewed.
New tires, stainless steel spokes, and wheels with proper striping; brake linings have been renewed.
Mostly stainless steel bolts and nuts. All chrome parts re-chromed.
The AJS was introduced in 2021 and has a Dutch registration number.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
