The G3 was Matchless's 350 cc single-cylinder road model, a plain air-cooled four-stroke with dry-sump oiling and a four-speed chain-driven gearbox. In 1950 it carried telescopic forks, twin rear shock absorbers and drum brakes at both ends. It was a sporting but practical roadster of the post-war British single type.
