1929 AJS 500cc Single
Posted: Sun Mar 23, 2014 5:30 am
Hi Folks,
I was recently contacted by one of my work mates and he lives next door to an elderly lady whose husband had passed away recently.The lady asked my friend if he could help her open a side door to a small shed at the back of the property that had not been open for many years. Upon opening the door my friend was amazed to find a fully restored 1929 AJS 500 residing in the shed, also there were at least 2 spare motors, a frame and several boxes of parts that belonged with the bike.
My workmate knew of my interest in the AJS brand and rang me the same day and I expressed my interest in this machine. He is going to ask the lady if he can take photos for me, I have told him to inform the lady/owner that I may be keen to purchase or at least sell for her for a fair price whenever she feels comfortable and ready.
I wish to know what possible model 500 singles were available from AJS in 1929 ?
I imagine this bike would be relatively rare down here in N.Z.
Regards,
Dean
