Description:
1953 Ajs 500 Mc model 20 Engine Number: 5320/15557 Chassis Number: A6186, the Spring twin one of the first models to provide a plush seating for the pillion passenger the Spring twin was a very successful model and considered a flagship cruiser of the day. Mr Duncan had a fastidious eye for detail when it came to ensuring that his collection was in good order on all levels. This Ajs Ms is accompanied by a letter from Mr Roy Bacon of classic Motorcycle magazine confirming the year and model of the motorcycle and also pointing out that the front brake holds red detailing which May suggest the brake is from a 1954 model, with this, Mr Duncan politely corrected the Motor Registration centre of New Zealand who kindly responded and made correct their initial oversight; this correspondence is also with the motorcycle. A particularly fine example, this Spring twin complete with the original framed mounted hand pump for those rare but troublesome road puncture episodes.
