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 The Model 7 Dominator was a 500 cc vertical twin motorcycle built by Norton between 1949 and 1955, before being superseded by the Model 88. It was the first of Norton's Dominator range of motorcycles with an engine designed by Bert Hopwood and was a departure from Norton's previous practice of producing single-cylinder machines. Successful in its day, the bike was even used by the Japanese police force in the 1950s.

This swinging arm Model 7 Dominator, being offered at no reserve, has been very nicely restored back to its original condition. The Early Dommies are good looking bikes with their pear shaped silencers and classic Norton silver fuel tank with black and red pin stripping and it will make an ideal mount for vintage runs and rallies. The bike has spent the last couple of years on display in a modern Norton dealership to show the contrast between the old and the new. It will be supplied with a current V5C.
