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 1964 Jubilee was bought by the vendor in 1991 as nothing more than a collection of parts, but since then it has been fully restored, with the assembly undertaken by Robin James Engineering. It has also had its engine refreshed and updated using modern bearings by Mike Pemberton of Pushrod Performance. The paintwork, electrical work and final finishing were performed by Pete Thorne at Aspire Restorations. The vendor has enjoyed the Norton very much since its completion and describes the engine, paint, brightwork, transmission, frame and suspension as “very good” and the cycle parts and electrics as “good.” The Jubilee is complete with the current V5C.
