Lot details Registration No: CPP 841 Frame No: 62849 Engine No: 4972 cc: 348 MOT Expiry Date: Nov 2005
Founded by James Landsdowne Norton, Norton became one of the legendary marques of the once world-beating British motorcycle industry. A Norton v-twin won the two-cylinder class of the Isle of Man TT in 1907 and by 1924, Bracebridge Street Birmingham made Nortons won both Sidecar and Senior TTs.
Apart from the vendor, this Norton, a 1936-made Model 50, has only had one other owner since 1945. He says the 350 single pot machine has been ridden regularly in VMCC `Club Runs', proving to be totally reliable and trouble-free.
Following restoration in 1980, current condition of frame and suspension is said to be very good, black and silver paintwork good, cycle parts, 348cc overhead valve single-cylinder engine and gearbox very good with electrics also good, though the dynamo requires attention due to not charging.
The recorded mileage when entered read 81,187 miles, whilst the MOT certificate will be valid until next November. Paperwork includes an old buff logbook and a newer logbook.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
