Hi
i have been looking at all the posts on the forum on ex AFS matchless bikes sold at Ruddington in the late sixties and early seventies , I know the post was back from 2015 but I wonder if you came across my bike LYO847 Matchless G3 it was delivered to Stretford AFS station in June 1953 as one of 7 that were the first batch for evaluation and sold I believe at rudheath , any info would be greatly appreciatedRegard mike

I wonder if you may be able to help , I have a AFS matchless G3 that I am trying to find the history on , I know from the matchless club that it was delivered to D60 Stratford Lancashire on 24/5 June 1953 as one of the first batch of 7 bikes To be evaluated , i cannot find a Stratford in Lancashire or reference to D60 in the AFS ?
any help would be really appreciated thanks mike

That brilliant thanks it what I expected as no Stratford in Lancashire.
i just have to see if I can find any photos with my bike on them in their records , long shot but you never know , thanks again mike
Hi yes I live 6 miles from Stretford but the info I have been given very kindly from a chap on this site says Stratford in Lancashire
Stretford was in Lancashire in 53 before the boundary changes .
the division is D60 which I think is the key , I have found I think D63 which is Wigan again in Lancashire so it won’t be far away , I think it will be Stretford thanks for your help .
Regards mike

Hi I wonder if you may be able to help me with this ?
I am new to the forum so if I have not gone about it in the correct way I do apploagise but you seem rather knowledgeable on the subject ,Hi i have just joined the forum , as i found it by chance when trying to find out information on a bike i have , its a 1953 matchless G3 with original engine matching the frame reg number LYO847
I have worked out from some posts back in 2015 that some members may have the catalogues for ruddington sales i have seen that on some of the scans that were posted then reg numbers LYO 840 843 844 845 were sold but i dont see mine , i was wondering if anyone could put me in the right direction , i believe that my bike was one of the first batch for evaluation from the first supply contract , i would love to find out more info , thanks mike
