1939 Matchless Model X 990cc - see the original at the National MC Museum, Solihull.

This painting is unique and original and was painted entirely by me. The motorcycle was photographed at the National Motorcycle Museum at Birmingham and the background of a scene in Bath (the old Wessex bus garage) added afterwards. The registration number can be added at no extra cost as required but will take a week to implement. It took 72 hours to paint and is priced at £1,200. Postage is £45 max.

 

 

1939 Matchless Model X 990cc was produced between 1929 and 1940 and the side valve engine was capable of speeds over 80mph in solo form, and was perfectly suitable for sidecar use. The engine was also installed in certain Brough Superior, Covenrty Eagle, OEM and OK Supreme motorcycles. Production of the Model X ceased at the outbreak of WW2.

This motorcycle image was taken at the National Motorcycle Museum in Solihull, Birmingham and I added a suitable background. No registration details are available, leaving the image incomplete. Can anyone out there help me to complete this painting? If you ever owned a Matchless 990cc Model X,  preferably a 1938 model, or know of someone who did, and you can remember the registration details, would you please let me know the details, and I will use the number to complete the painting. Email details and my phone number are on the CONTACT page.
