Matchless is one of the oldest marques of British motorcycles with the first models manufactured in the early 20th century. The factory had a long history of racing success and a Matchless ridden by Charlie Collier won the first single-cylinder race in the first Isle of Man TT in 1907. The G3LC was strictly designed for competition use and, during the early 1950s, Matchless was at the top of its game in the off-road scene. Light alloy cylinders and cylinder heads retained by enclosed through-bolts from the crank case, a robust and waterproof magneto, 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch back wheels, wide ratio gears and jam-pot rear suspension, all made the G3LC a very desirable and capable dirt bike. In fine original condition and in good running order, this G3LCS is a rarity.
