About this Item

1953. Fourth edition. 224pp., 61 figures within the text, and 8 pages of advertisements at the end of the book. Matchless is one of the oldest marques of British motorcycles, manufactured in Plumstead, London, between 1899 and 1966. A wide range of models were produced under the Matchless name, ranging from small two-strokes to 750 cc four-stroke twins. In 1938, Matchless and AJS became part of Associated Motorcycles (AMC), both companies producing models under their own marques. During the amalgamations that occurred in the British motorcycle industry in the 1960s, the Matchless four-stroke twin was replaced with the Norton twin, ending a long history of independent production. By 1967, the Matchless singles had ceased production. This book is part of the publisher's 'Motor Cycle Maintenance and Repair' series, and has been compiled from the maker's technical records. Its object is to provide in a concise form information which will enable owners of Matchless motor cycles and of proprietary machines fitted with Matchless engines to service and maintain them in good order. The book is bound in the original red boards with black titling on the spine and front board and an advertisement on the rear board. The case of the book is in very good condition with bumping and a little damage to the top corners of both boards. The contents are tight and clean with no inscription. The unclipped dustwrapper has shelf wear with light soiling. The top corners are bumped with small pieces missing and the top of the spine is bumped with small tears on the spine corners.
