Overview

The Matchless G50 was never built for the showroom-it was born for the track. From its 1958 debut to its continued dominance in classic racing more than six decades later, the G50 has stood as a symbol of British engineering focus, simplicity, and endurance. This is the definitive chronicle of how one single-cylinder machine defied obsolescence, outlasted the factories that created it, and inspired generations of racers and engineers. Single-Minded: The Matchless G50 Story follows the G50 from its origins in the postwar AMC competition department through its championship years, Seeley reinvention, and modern rebirth in the hands of enthusiasts and craftsmen. It captures not only the technical brilliance of the design but also the community that has kept it alive-from Thruxton to the Isle of Man, from dusty paddocks to pristine museum halls. Written in vivid, fact-based narrative, this book reveals how the G50's distinctive pulse and purposeful simplicity came to represent the essence of British racing ambition. It's a celebration of craftsmanship and competition-a story of one machine's relentless pursuit of perfection.
