AJS V4 SUPERCHARGED GRAND PRIX 500 (1939): EXCLUSIVE TRACK TEST AND HISTORY OF A RARE BRITISH RACER (THE MOTORCYCLE FILES Book 2)

The Motorcycle Files is a series of short but hugely-informative e-books that presents you with a unique opportunity to build your own library of road and track tests of some of the worldâ€™s rarest motorcycles. Motorcycles like the supercharged AJS V4 Grand Prix racer, for example.

This edition of The Motorcycle Files, has a complete racing history of that awesome supercharged monster, which culminated in a post-WWII race victory achieved just before a ban on supercharging made the machine obsolete.

The 500cc supercharged AJS V4 Grand Prix racer from 1939 could have been developed further and in many ways represents a lost opportunity for Britainâ€™s motorcycle industry. Without doubt it is still the most exotic racing motorcycle ever made in England.

Full technical details and development histories of AJS V4 motorcycles in various guises are also included. These range from the first air-cooled and normally aspirated show model to the final version of the water-cooled and supercharged race-winner that was without doubt the fastest British racing motorcycle of its day.

Finally, there are Alan Cathcartâ€™s reminiscences of actually riding this rarest of classic racers in the hill-climb that is the focus of the famous Goodwood Festival of Speed. This was one of the few times that the only example still existing of the only British four-cylinder works Grand Prix racer ever built has been seen in action in recent years.

Journalist and former racer, Alan Cathcart, has been testing road and racing motorcycles all over the world for twenty years and this, allied to a successful racing career, has earned him the respect of all of the major motorcycle manufacturers, museums and private owners of priceless two-wheeled rarities.

In many cases the machines that he has tested for The Motorcycle Files are the only existing example in the world. And Alanâ€™s unique combination of riding ability and journalistic skills means that manufacturers are willing to open the doors to their factory team race shops to him and then allow him to test on the race track the machines that are usually restricted to World Championship Grand Prix and Superbike racers.

The Motorcycle Files, therefore, are the only publications that can offer you the chance to build up your own library of information on some of the rarest machines on the planet. Each file includes the track or road test, plus technical information and the historical background of the featured machines.

Added to that is the fact that The Motorcycle Files has utilized the skills of some of the best motorcycle photographers in the world to provide unrivalled action and technical images. No other series can strip the fairings from the racing machines and allow you a close-up look at the engines and other technical details usually seen only by the race team engineers.

The initial releases in The Motorcycle Files series will focus mainly upon a selection of the most famous racing machines of the past â€“ machines that competed in the decades from the nineteen-twenties to the â€˜eighties.

Future releases will feature more classic racers and road machines as well as recent contenders for MotoGP and World Superbike Championship honours.
All are available exclusively via Amazon for reading on Kindle and on other e-book readers via Kindle applications.
