AMC (Associated Motor Cycles), formed by the amalgamation, pre-WW2, of several companies, had unrivalled experience of building the traditional British 'single', having made around 80,000 Matchless G3 solos for the British Army during the war. Post-war, the demand from riders continued and the G3 variants remained riders' favourites. PSK 474 offered here, is one of the final variants, always known as 'jam-pots' for their characteristic rear spring-units. Other than the forward-mounted ignition drive, the engine still resembles its predecessors. The subject of a full and careful rebuild (folder of bills available for inspection) and with few miles travelled since, this G3LS, complete with V5C, represents a splendid opportunity for the traditional rider, needing the usual re-commissioning before returning to the road.
