The Norton Commando was produced by Norton-Villiers with an OHV pre-unit parallel-twin engine, from 1967 until 1977. Initially, having a nominal 750cc displacement, actually 745cc, in 1973 it became an 850cc, actually 828cc. It posessed a hemi-type head, similar to all OHV Norton engines since the early 1920s. During its ten years of production, the Commando was popular all over the world. In the United Kingdom it won the Motor Cycle News "Machine of the Year" award for five successive years from 1968-1972. Around 60,000 Commandos were made in total.

A matching numbers bike with a certified copy of factory records, the numbers indicate that this was a ‘Combat’ model. The bike has been rebuilt over the last year with lots of receipts for parts. Some history comes with the bike too. Work carried out includes the engine having been stripped and checked, only needing a light hone and new +20 rings. The wheels have rebuilt wheels by Central Wheel along with new Avon Roadrunner tyres and tubes. A new wiring loom has been fitted along with an AO reg/rectifier and electronic ignition. The machine has also benefitted from a new exhaust system from Norvil, stainless fasteners throughout - including spindles, rebuilt forks with new stanchions and seals, the carburettors ultrasonically cleaned and rebuilt and new seals for the front brake hydraulics. It is offered with a current V5C and some bills for parts.
