Towards the end of 1930, the Arthur Carroll-designed overhead-camshaft engine was introduced on Norton's CS and CJ road models, and in 1932 these were joined by a new top-of-the-range sports roadster – the International - which bore a closer resemblance to the works racers and was equally at home on the racetrack. By the time production halted in 1939, the ‘Inter’ was being built with a four-speed foot-change gearbox and plunger rear suspension (the so-called 'Garden Gate' frame). It reappeared after the war in a similar guise, save for the adoption of the hydraulically-damped Roadholder front fork.

Purchased in 2006 by the vendor, the VMCC reports that 'GSK' (frame no 73110) was despatched from Bracebridge Street in November, 1936 to Jordans and correctly recorded as a Model 30, indicating an International model. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a very nicely restored example of the revered race-bred OHC Norton International. The history file includes old MOTs and tax discs, the original instruction/ maintenance manual, workshop notes, letters, sundry paperwork, related BMS publications and the V5C. The vendor advises that the machine has had little use in recent years and will require the usual checks before starting and use.
