AJS Porcupine

Post by Jean Landry. »

Hi everybody,
Maybe someone can help clarify a situation for me. Team Obsolete from New-York has recently acquired an ex-Arter E95 AJS Porcupine motor for the chassis they already owned. The bike was recently paraded at Oliver's Mount and, I believe, Cadwell. The one thing that puzzles me is that they call that motor "the only E95 MkII ever built", going on to say that it uses a Jack Williams built-up crankshaft in special cases. To my knowledge, there never was an official MkII factory denomination. I'm I wrong or is this simply a "special" with custom built crank and modified cases?

Thanks in advance
