1957 Matchless G11 600cc Pre G12 CSR 646cc version (Competition Sprung Roadster) which instantly was tagged the 'Coffee Shop Racer', this was the short-lived smaller capacity version. This beauty is now a sweet running machine after initial problems with a major crankcase oil leak. This was rectified after discovering that the engine had been rebuilt without a critical gasket being fitted between the crankcase by the oil filter.A further rectification required was the reassembly of the rear wheel spindle, which had been put together incorrectly by a previous owner - a common mistake with the oil seal and cup. This machine is an easy starter and a joy to ride. We are sure it will prove very popular with our 2006 clients, and anyway, we couldn't possibly not have a Matchless in the collection!
