Model 18, 1950

I just purchased a 500, reg no NHA 480.
Would be great if anyone can give me any history on this bike, especially from the iom?

My 49 G80S may have known your AJS - its NHA458 and came from Copes of Smethwick in early 1950. Spookily close :shock: If you google them there are pictures of the dealership out there.

Thanks for the replies.
I know that at some time this bike was sold to someone in the Isle of Man.
Interested in that part of the history, which is a missing link!
