The Norton 16H is a designation given to British motorcycles made between 1911 through to 1954 with various modifications and refers to a single-cylinder Norton 490cc side-valve engine with a bore and stroke of 79 x 100 mm. The H denotes the 'home' model as distinct from the 'colonial' export model. Norton was the main military motorcycle supplier prior to WW2 and one of the main suppliers of motorcycles to the British Army in World War II with a total of nearly 100,000 produced.
This 1934 Norton started life as a 16H model and has had a Model 18 engine fitted since. It has been fitted with a Swallow sidecar that the late vendor used to take the family out in it on many rallies and events around the country. In his ownership, there have been some slight deviations from standard. It was used regularly until last year, before being kept in dry storage and kicked over regularly. Some light recommissioning will be required before use.
