FJRIGJWWE9R1PIC_RATING:COMMENTS 1936 AJS model 20. This is much altered from the road going machine, which had typical Late 30’s black & chrome tank, 8" headlamp , L & R siamese pipes for the 4 pots etc.. I featured it in Jampot circa Aug & Sept 2010 prewar officers mailbag.

FJRIGJWWE9R1PIC_RATING:COMMENTS Fantastic, I would love to hear it running.
Similar bikes were at the Saltburn Hillclimb Event in september, not allowed to be a race now just a demonstration run "event" up the hill for classic bikes and cars, mind you some do knock on a bit.

FJRIGJWWE9R1PIC_RATING:COMMENTS Snipped from the Internet:
In an effort to create something unique, that would properly utilize the AJS name, Collier & Sons launched the ’Vee 4’ touring bike in 1935. Designed by Bert Collier, the Vee 4 had a unique, and technologically advanced 500cc 50º chain-driven SOHC engine, with exposed ’hairpin’ valve springs. The AJS Vee 4 was an offshoot of another v-four Collier engine design - the 1931 593cc Matchless ’Silver Hawk.’By 1936, AJS introduced a racing version of the Vee 4, using a supercharger designed by Swiss engineer Arnold Zoller. The supercharged V4 produced 55hp, and had a top speed of 135mph, and was designed to compete against BMW’s supercharged racers.Between 1936 and 1939, the AJS Vee 4 set several records, breaking the 100 mph lap speed record at the Ulster Grand Prix. During the last model year for the Vee 4 in 1939, a liquid-cooled cast alloy engine was produced, using enclosed valve springs.
The successor to the V4 was the AJS Porcupine.
