Hello everyone.
I have a matchless G2 1958 need help with the painting of the petrol tank.
It was black with silver striped but I do not know where.
Does anybody know an image of the original painting?
Thanks

Hi Hugo,
Page 57, in Roy Bacon"s "Matchless and AJS book and I quote,
" The first lightweight model G2 appeared in this form"
This picture gives a good and clear view of the bike and it"s tank.
Because it"s not coloured I cannot comment on the Silver stripe...but looking at the picture I wonder if the Silver stripe had a gold edge to it..... someone else may advise.
I can photocopy the page and post it to you but obviously you need to contact me individually through the Club internal system.
Best wishes, Chris Kelly
