The Matchless G3/L was developed for the British Army during World War II, becoming highly popular during wartime. Such was its ease of use and reliability, the G3 remained in use by the Ministry of Defence for another 15 years after the end of the war, until replaced in 1960 by the BSA W-B40. The Matchless G3/L was a popular choice for UK trials riders, enabling legends such as Artie Ratcliffe and Ted Usher to win numerous national events for Matchless in period.
This very original classic Matchless complete with history file, is ready to join its next classic bike collection.
