From Bonhams Auctions site where it was last sold ( Link to previous listing here ):

"Many-times British sidecar champion Colin Seeley bought Associated Motor Cycles' racing department when the company went into receivership in 1966. Seeley's motorcycle dealership possessed an AMC agency and he was already well familiar with the Plumstead firm's race engines. having commenced his sidecar-racing career with a G50-powered outfit. Believing that the engines possessed further potential if combined with state-of-the-art cycle parts. the previous year he had constructed the first Seeley racing frame to house a Matchless G50 engine. and the AMC purchase enabled him to produce complete Seeley G50 and 7R machines. With their improved frames. the four-stroke singles enjoyed renewed competitiveness. Derek Minter winning first time out at the start of 1966 on both the 350cc 7R and 500cc G50-engined Seeleys. The Seeley frame progressed from the duplex cradle MkI to the similar but lighter MkII on which works rider Dave Croxford won the British 500 Championship in 1968. The down-tubes were abandoned with the MkIII. the head-stock and swinging arm pivot of which were linked solely by tubes running diagonally above the engine. Supported by sponsor Gus Kuhn. Seeley-mounted Croxford triumphed again in the British 500 Championship in 1969.
