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 1, more commonly known as the Big 4, was made between 1907 and 1954 in various forms, its 633cc engine was the largest and most powerful side-valve engine in the model range and with plenty of low-end torque was ideal for attaching to sidecars. A workhorse in its day, not many have survived today.

This matching numbers Norton Big 4, being offered at no reserve, has been in storage since the 1980s. Presented in very original barn find, unrestored condition the engine turns over but it has obviously not been run for a long time. Built in 1952 at the height of the chromium shortage when manufacturers had to resort to painting the bright parts like wheel rims and petrol tanks it will make an interesting restoration project or even just a mechanical recommissioning to use as it is. The bike comes supplied with a buff log book and a current V5C.
