Replicas
In the late '90s AJS Motorcycles Ltd. of Goodworth Clatford, Andover produced a series of Cotton replica competition motorcycles including the 250 Cobra Scrambler, Cotton-Triumph 500 Scrambler, Telstar 250 road racer and 250 Starmaker Trials Bike. These replicas followed the original chassis designs accurately. The chassis were T.I.G welded, and employed either AJS Stormer wheel hubs, British Hubs or Grimeca Hubs. Betor or Marzocchi forks were used and usually Sebac shocks were installed at the rear. These replicas were very successful on the Pre '65 Moto X circuits and in the hands of Classic Racers. Today Nick Brown of AJS Motorcycles Ltd. owns the Cotton trademark.
