I was a new rider, still in h.s., and sat on a new AJS "Spring Twin" in the dealer's show room, 1957 or therabouts; handsomest motorcycle I'd ever seen - colors and workmanship were outstanding.
A very well preserved bike in top order with a good steady tickover! As a schoolboy back in the 60's I was in awe of these versatile bikes and there was a scrambler model as well, the G12CS. The De Luxe model spec featured pillion footrests and a stop light - all mod cons 😃!
Lovely bike. I rebuilt a G12CSR while in grad school in England in the early 1980s. When I moved to the US my parents downsized and my Matchless was sold. Alas!
I rebuilt my mates AJS-650 bottom-end when I was 15 (still in High-School ) , that center-bearing was supported by a separate 'carrier' for want of a better term . It was fixed to the case by studs from memory , one was snapped clean-off and we left it . I have never stopped thinking to this day ..that we should have replaced it , though the bike ran fine and he sold it to buy a 750 Commando Dave nz
Appears brand new , the seat piping is usually white , perhaps you had it recovered. A California bike , that explains part of the cleanliness . I'm interested in how many miles on it .
Hi Derek, this bike has been completely restored including a very thorough rebuild of the motor using NOS at great expense. The bike is currently for sale.

Lovely old bike - the Matchless/AJS twins had a centre bearing crank arrangement which smoothed them out
