I thought matchless due to shape of fuel and oil caps , but this frame is one piece , also the forks are 7 1/2 inch wide

got a email off where it came from , this bike was fitted with a Norton engine which was removed for another project , but was not thought to be  the correct engine for the machine

no I don't think so either , and theres no way the gear box will handle the power or line up with this engine , the engine has come with the mount plates , looks like it was started but stopped half way , I will look to see if can finish but will have to alter frame for a dif gear box , not a job can do so cost may halt this one .

I sort of lost interest a bit , had it together then stripped just to clean , regreese , and paint over the rust , I never wanted to resore it but more bar hopper bobber thing , I rebuilt engine and box andjust left , you may have just got me interested again , heres how it stands now , never found out for sure what it had been once but engine box primary and drive all lined up , may finish over winter
