Having just watched (again) the excellent film, The World's Fastest Indian, it got me googling to see what is the fastest AJS/Matchless on record. I didn't get much joy from my search but I imagine there were a few prepped for the drag strip back in the day.
Anybody have any knowledge on how fast someone has made an AJS/Matchless go?
Just curious that's all
Cheers

Not a Matchless but this AJS did 136MPH in 1933 on Southport Sands.
