Good Day,

My name is JT Davis, I’m an Associate Producer at Sirens Media and we are located five miles from the United States Capitol. We are producing a new series for the Discovery Channel about a mechanic who repairs and restores vintage motorcycles. We feature six (6) bikes over a three-part series, each episode we plan to share interesting details about the motorcycle which requires some fact checking.

I am doing research to determine the value of a motorcycle in a pristine restored condition.


The motorcycle in the first episode is a 1931 Matchless Model X with a Brough Superior Sidecar. I’ve attached before and after photos of the bike and restoration.

Can you put me in contact with someone who can appraise this bike pre/post restoration? I understand it will be difficult to give actual value without knowing the details of how the bike was restored, what products were used and the care taken to bring it back to life. However, a ballpark figure with a visual assessment could assist in providing accurate information to the Discovery Channel viewer.

Should you have any questions I can be reached via email or by phone, 310-987-7498. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

I only have the motor which I intend fitting into an AJS Statesman which is ex the South African Defense Force.

It was kaiki and I have painted it Blue black with the large chrome badges.

As the bike is coil ignition I want to fit the motor with a magneto.Then I am not so dependant on the battery.

The AJS is mainly Norton and could have been badged either or.

As far as I understand it should be about 1963.

If you would like me to I can send you pictures.

Thank you for your interest.
