• Norton’s rare 500cc factory built trials model
• Thought to be only 24 made in late 1953 for 1954 season
• Supplied with workshop manuals and a current V5C

Norton was founded by James Lansdowne Norton in Birmingham in 1898. In 1907 a Norton with a Peugeot engine won the first Isle of Man TT race starting a long tradition of sporting excellence. More renowned for their exploits on the track, the 500T, introduced in 1949, was made for use in trials events and employed a modified 16H frame, a set of special fork yokes that brought the fork legs back to the steering column, a sump shield under the crankcases and Roadholder telescopic forks with a 7" front brake.

This 1953 model, thought to be one of only 24 made for the 1954 season, was part of an enthusiast’s private collection of mainly British trials bikes and is offered in authentically restored condition. A good-looking bike with its all-alloy top engine and doll’s head gearbox, it has not been run for a few years so will need some recommissioning before use. It comes supplied with a VMCC dating letter, some old MOTs, workshop manuals and a current V5C.
