1956 AJS 350cc

The first race at the VSCC's meeting at Donington Park in May 2001 was a round of the Lansdowne Classic Series for motorcycles. This is one of the machines that took part in the race.

Number 2 for this race is shown in the programme of the event as the 1962 500cc Manx Norton of David May, but this looks like the number 22 of Roger Ashby, a 1956 AJS 7R which the blue numberplate shows is a 350cc model. The 350cc AJS 7R was produced by Associated Motor Cycles from 1948 to 1963 and had a Phil Walker designed single-cylinder four stroke 348cc engine with a single overhead camshaft.
