The Norton Commando is a British Norton-Villiers motorcycle with an OHV pre-unit parallel-twin engine, produced from 1967 until 1977. The larger 850 engine was introduced initially as an alternative to the 750, but as the sole option from late 1973. During its ten years of production, the Commando was popular all over the world. In the UK it won the Motor Cycle News 'Machine of the Year' award for five successive years from 1968-1972. Some 60,000 Commandos were made in total.

This 1976 Norton Commando MkIII was originally sent over to the States when new. Repatriated back to the UK in 2017 by the previous owner who then set about carrying out a sympathetic restoration. Since the work has been completed, it was used by him until it was sold to the vendor in 2019. In current ownership with our vendor, it has formed part of his collection of Nortons that are being sold through this auction. Used sparingly, ridden up and down a lane occasionally, some checks may be required before putting it back on the road. The Norton comes complete with a current V5C, receipts for parts from Andover Norton and its NOVA paperwork.
