51' Matchless G3L


1951 Matchless G3L!

The first Matchless motorcycle was made in 1899 and, with a commercial manufacturing history dating
from 1901, Matchless is one of the senior marques of the late British motorcycle industry.

Matchless produced a wide range of motorcycles to suit all purposes and pockets; their most famous
machines being the Silver Arrow and Silver Hawk multi-cylinder bikes of the 1930s. Their wartime
G3L was not only one of the most popular British service machines of the Second World War, but the
first to feature telescopic front forks.

The G3L has a higher compression engine giving a modest power gain to 18 HP, sufficient to
propel the bike up to a quoted top speed of 100 km/h. It's still no road burner, but very
delightful to ride.
