1964 Matchless 350 Short Stroke Trials Bike. Not DVLA registered. Frame Number C/0878. Engine Number G3C/4788.
Using designs evolved from the wartime G3 model, AMC were a dominant force in the UK trials arena during the post war period.
Famous works riders Artie Radcliffe and Ted Usher for Matchless, and Hugh Viney and Gordon Jackson for AJS could regularly be seen winning national events, which promoted the popularity of the company's products at clubman level.
The lighter, sweet handling 350 was more popular than the punchier but less nimble 500 with both works riders and amateurs alike.
C-0878 is a late, short stroke, Norton oil pump model, Described by the vendor as almost completely original, with the last example of the lowered rear subframe (to accept the "Girling" units), and is one of possibly fewer than eighty examples produced. Newer Alloy mudguards and fuel tank are fitted.
