It is one of the last models produced before AMC merged with Norton Competition model for the emerging Scrambler market and was produced until 1955.

Beautiful, but to me it is demanding girder forks
Wow! That is a beautiful bike!!
Those Brits sure knew how to style a bike.
If this AJS is a SOHC, why does it have pushrod tubes?
I’d forgive a young guy for this mistake, but really!
Now that is a beautiful bike! Just breath taking.
I ran a 57 AJS on short track and scrambles for a year. Then went to BSA.. Mine had suspension. First year of the small shocks.
That bike is sexy! I like the Supertrapp muffler. Too cool.
If you had that bike in ’53, you were the shit.
Nice!
