1967 was very nearly the end of the line for Matchless and Norton Villers (the parent company) Leftover 1968 models were sold as 1969s but 1967 was really the last year for regular production. In the early and mid 60s Matchless had seen some serious engine problems to the point where the parent company combined the factories and started putting Norton twins in the Matchless road machines.
Matchless mated the 750cc Norton Atlas to their frame in a model known generally as G15. There are a stunning number of variants to this motorcycle that was only produced for 4 years, but I am fairly certain this is the ‘Cafe Racer’ variant that only saw about 500 produced.
The 1967 Atlas motor was 745cc producing 55 HP and running at a timed 115 MPH. The Matchless Cafe Racer was considered very rideable with good brakes and good handling. This particular Matchless is just leaving a museum in Three Lakes, WI and is available for $7,950 right here on Cycle Trader. It is a magnificent example of a pretty rare motorcycle. I strongly suspect that with the frame/engine numbers this bike could be worth much more than the asking price. If I had the money laying around I would be a player.
