1930 had not been a spectacular year for the Bracebridge concern, their model range was still firmly rooted in the twenties, however, the overhead camshaft models conceived by Walter Moore had been scrutinised by the newly installed chief designer, John Carroll, who undertook a complete redesign and by the time of the Ulster Grand Prix the new machines were meeting with considerable success. Although a few machines fitted with the new engine are believed to have emerged from the factory for purchase by individuals towards the end of 1930, it was not until 1931 that the new engine became officially available replacing the Moore engines in the CS1 and CJ models. These were joined in 1932 by a pair of machines intended primarily for competition, equipped with a racing magneto, four-speed gearbox, tuned engine and quick action filler caps typed the Model 40 and Model 30 for the 350cc and 490cc versions respectively and named the "International".

This Cammy Norton is based around a 1949 model 18 frame that was purchased completely in bits around 1992 by the previous owner, he then set about having the engine and gearbox completely overhauled by Norman Francis in that year, with receipts on file. The engine was completely rebuilt at a cost of over £2,000 in 1992. It has been fitted with a Norton single-sided magnesium front brake, inter-oil tank, and rear wheel. It has been used most years since the current vendor's hands and he has enjoyed using it. It comes complete with a current V5C an old tax disc and receipts for work carried out on the engine.
