Associated Motor Cycles announced its post-war range of AJS and Matchless heavyweight singles in June 1945. Coded Model 16M and G3L respectively, the two 350cc models shared the same 93mm stroke as their 500cc brethren, coupled to a 69mm bore. Housed in a rigid frame with Teledraulic front fork, the ruggedly built overhead-valve engine drove through a four-speed gearbox. Hairpin valve springs were adopted for 1949 and a swinging-arm frame introduced, the latter initially for export only but available in the UK from 1950, machines so-equipped being suffixed 'S'. Offered with a Netherlands registration card, this swinging arm-framed AJS Model 16MS is described by the vendor as in generally good running condition. It should be noted that the engine number is prefixed 'G3L', indicating that the left-side crankcase half (at the very least) started life in a Matchless.
