AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The AJS Model 18 500cc is fully restored. 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 others, the fenders and tool box, the odometer, the sketch plates, the CP gearbox, the dynamo and the exhaust.
Different for the 1947 year are the front fork and front hub (1949), the stainless steel rims and spokes, the rear light (Lucas 467), the primary chaincase, a 12-volt installation and the electronic ignition.
The engine block has new crankpins, big end, small end and bearings. Piston, piston pin, valves, valve guides and tappet shafts are renewed. CP gearbox has been rebuilt and the lined plates of the clutch housing are new, as are all chains and gears.
Carburetor Amal 89B has been overhauled by a specialist, including a new throttle slide.
The exhaust pipe and silencer are new.
Electrical system is now 12-volt, all wiring is new and the dynamo (E3AR) has been professionally rebuilt. Beck electronic ignition.
Lucas 467 replica rear light, LED lighting is LED, reflectors renewed.
New tires, stainless steel spokes and rims with correct striping, brake linings renewed.
Mostly stainless steel bolts and nuts. All chrome parts re-chromed.
The AJS was registered in 2021 and has a Dutch license plate.

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.
