The Matchless G3/L was developed for the British Army during World War II, becoming highly popular during wartime. Such was its ease of use and reliability, the G3 remained in use by the Ministry of Defence for another 15 years after the end of the war, until replaced in 1960 by the BSA W-B40. The Matchless G3/L was a popular choice for UK trials riders, enabling legends such as Artie Ratcliffe and Ted Usher to win numerous national events for the company.

Subject of an comprehensive older restoration, this lovely 1957 G3 remains in excellent all round condition, requiring only light recommissioning and checks due to lack of recent use. The Matchless is offered complete with an extensive history file containing current V5C and older registration documents, MoT certificates and Tax discs, receipts for parts going back to the 1990s, and copies of the instruction book and parts catalogue.
