Norton began in 1898 and started 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. Developed for their Manx Norton race bikes, the legendary featherbed frame eventually made its way onto the road in 1953 housing the 500cc Dominator twin cylinder engine. By the late 1950s the engine had been increased in capacity to 600cc fitted into the classic featherbed frame matched to equally iconic Roadholder front forks and alloy full width hubs.

This good-looking 'Dommie' has been part of an enthusiast's private collection for the last few years. Authentically restored in the past, keeping a good degree of originality, it is finished in Norton's Polychromatic Grey paintwork, a quite ambitious colour scheme in the 1950s when most bikes were just plain Black. Used by the vendor until last summer, it will need the normal checks before use, but once recommissioned will make a stylish mount for summer runs. One of the most sought-after Nortons from the era, it comes supplied with many old MOTs, some manuals and a current V5C.
