Norton Villiers started building the AJS Stormer Scrambler in 1968, with 250, 370 and 410cc engines, production stopped in 1974 due to them having financial trouble.
Fluff Brown purchased the rights to manufacture the Stormer under the AJS banner from NorVil in late 1974.
Fluff had worked with Cotton Motorcycles and had helped Villiers develop the Stormer, later becoming AJS competition manager. A short time after taking over he started to produce the FB AJS Stormer as a Scrambler, also as a Trail bike. He was also supplying parts and up grades for the older models. Bike production stopped in 1982, but supply of parts continue to this day.
While looking for info on the Stormers I noticed on their web site that they will build you a new Stormer if you want, click on title to go to their site
Interesting. Always liked the looks of the "Stormer". Had no idea you could still get a new one. Have to check out that site some time. HL
ReplyDeleteI contacted AJS from their site on Tuesday and Nick Brown emailed me back that they are unable to build a new Stormer, Thought it would be worth clearing that up.
