Overview[edit | edit source]
AJS R7 Track Racer
This 350cc overhead camshaft machine dating from 1930 is
the sole survivor from a small fleet of works machines with engines from 350cc
to 750cc. They were built for racing at Brooklands and record-breaking both at
the Surrey track and in France. The Wolverhampton factorys speed equipe was
managed by wealthy enthusiast Nigel Spring and its riders, including Bert Denly,
Freddie Hicks and George Rowley, notched up many successes.
This machines frame is three inches longer than standard
for high-speed stability while the girder fork front suspension floats on ball
bearings, rather than plain metal bushes. The close-ratio gearbox and clutch are
special factory items and a Brooklands can silencer is fitted to comply with
circuit regulations. The all-over silver finish was a Spring trademark.
