Norton was founded by James Lansdowne Norton in Birmingham in 1898 and began building motorcycles with French and Swiss engines in 1902. In 1907 a Norton with a Peugeot engine won the first Isle of Man TT race starting a long tradition of sporting excellence. The Commando model launched in 1967 as a 750cc carried on this theme culminating in Peter Williams victory in the 1973 Formula 750 TT.
This Norval racer appears to have been assembled out of new parts in 1975 and has never been registered although it comes with a dating letter from the Norton Owners Club if the buyer wants to put it on the road. Raced throughout its life, at one time by future GP rider Ray Swann, it is now fitted with a 270 degree crank with lots of the engine work being carried out by Pete Lovell Developments. Fitted with a stainless steel JAC race exhaust it also comes with a pair of chrome upswept exhaust for a more classic look, a Norvil belt drive conversion, Maxton front suspension, Hagon rear shocks, Interspan ignition system and Norvil double disc.
