Matchless was formed in 1899 and produced motorcycles from their factory in Plumstead until 1966, being part of the AMC group from 1938. After 1966 the company was absorbed into the Norton-Villiers group and the name disappeared. Les Harris made a Matchless based custom in the 1980s. Significant models include the Matchless G80 and the G3/L.
