The following is a rare 1934 Model D80 Matchless. There are not many of these bikes around, and I am very proud to be an owner of one of those few surviving. This bike was bought from Pembrokeshire Classics, and originally came from Ireland.....so it will be repatriated at some point.. The motor is a 500cc Over Head Valve (OHV). The D80 looks to not be much, but is well on its way to becoming a motorcycle. The Sub-frame is being rebuilt, and the necessary parts being sourced. The rear mudguard may be found; petrol tank also, so only a few bits left to find.
