Up for sale is my 1961 Matchless G12 CSR (650cc twin), which I bought 3 years ago from Kettering Classics, having only had 2 previous owners in the last 60 years! Indeed I was informed that it was used regularly up until it was ridden over to Kettering Classics for sale by the then owner. Since purchase I have slowly been through the bike recommissioning and refurbishing elements as I go, but wherever possible I have kept the original parts where they were in good condition. So this is has not been a restoration, but more a tidy up and refresh of what was already a good bike and keeping the bike largely in unrestored condition. The end result is a very presentable machine. The bike has 12V electrics with alternator and Magneto ignition. It also benefits from alloy rims front and rear (Morad & Borrani). The tank is all original paint and as such has a few chips on the top from use. The mileage on the speedo currently reads 48,881. So if you are after a largely original and unrestored but very presentable Matchless G12 CRS then this one is worth a look. Just needs fine tuning to suit your needs. The bike will come with a lot of the original bits (e.g. handlebars, controls, silencer etc), plus other bits such as a full engine gaskets set, primary chain case gasket etc. The reason for sale is because I am not getting the use out of it I expected and have decided that a classic car is probably better for us than a classic bike.
