model 14 not so light in weight

Post by Rob Harknett »

Has anyone got or know of a surviving 1936 AJS model 14. which was a upright mag in front of the engine 500 S.V.
This differed from the 1936 model 9 500 SV which was a sloper with magneto behind the engine.

So far an engine and gearbox only has been un earthed. Just noticed, the model 14 still has the mod 9 sloper top end, so the carb looks odd pointing downwards (see pic. how odd it looks)
