Noel, it's a
G2 not C2. They were available in 1959 so that's all you need for pre 60 eligibility, although I don't think the CSR version came out until the early 60's. The only problem I can see is them being so bloody slow, being a Brit 250. They'll out drag the Bantams though (
just) 
Matchless G2 1958-66, 248cc ohv single, 330lb, 66mpg, 70mph. At a time when most other manufacturers were going to unit-construction, AJS produced this single, which retained a separate gearbox. Employing butterfly valve springs & an oil tank in the engine case casting it was a brave attempt, which never succeeded. Heavy for a lightweight the handling improved with the AMC front forks on later models. The 14CSR was the sports model with improved styling & suspension.
