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. Over the years the company used its sporting experience to develop legendary products like the Featherbed frame and Roadholder forks and the famous Manx Norton racers. The sporty ES2 was popular due to its reliability and ease of maintenance, as well as the traditional design.
This attractive pre-war ES2, from a deceased estate, presented in the classic Norton fuel tank finish of black and silver has been part of a small private collection on the Island for a number of years. Authentically restored by the vendor in the early 1980s, the bike has spent the last 20 years of its life on the Isle of Man where the owner retired to. Not used for a few years it will need recommissioning before use. This attractive-looking model with girder forks and rigid rear suspension comes supplied with a Vintage Motorcycle Club dating letter and a V5 registration document together with an original painting of the bike by B.D. Docking.
