Actually a better story than you knew– Mukul is mistaken about AJS ending production of rigid frame motorcycles in 1949. According to Roy Bacon’s definitive “AJS and Matchless – The Postwar Models”, production of the AJS Model 18/Matchless G80 rigid models began in 1945 and ended in 1955. That fits with my experience owning a 1951 Model 18 — with that information stamped on the engine case (year and model).
