Named to commemorate Norton's 60th anniversary, the the 249cc Jubilee was produced from 1958 to 1966. It was a break from Norton’s tradition of big, high-performance motorcycles, having been designed in response to British legislation introduced in 1960 which limited learner riders to motorcycles of under 250cc. It had the smallest engine ever made by Norton and was the first Norton with a unit construction engine and gearbox. Interestingly, the engine was a new design by Bert Hopwood but featured main and big-end bearings identical to those used on Hopwood's Norton Dominator engine of ten years earlier.

This 1961 Jubilee, in its striking blue, was purchased by the late owner in restored condition for display in his extensive collection of mainly British motorcycles. Being kept mainly as a static exhibit, it still presents very nicely but will require some recommissioning before it can be used. Please note the DVLA has the Norton recorded as 'exported', even though it has never left Britain and still appears in searchable DVLA records. It probably amounts to a clerical error, but it may be that a NOVA number will need to be applied for.
