• Dating certificate on file

Synonymous with performance, Norton developed its first overhead camshaft engine during the winter of 1926/1927. The brainchild of Walter Moore, it powered the winner of the 1927 Senior TT race and prompted the release of the CS1 (Camshaft Senior 1) and CJ (Camshaft Junior) models. An example of the latter contested the 1928 TT race. Overshadowed in period by its big brother, in both performance and sales terms, surviving CJs are now prized.

On offer is a 1939 Norton CJ 350 in mostly unrestored condition which looks to have been used for sprints or racing at some point in its life. Although, there is no accompanying documentation to back this supposition up. The CJ has been fitted with the desirable International tank and left-hand oil tank, which appear to have been painted years ago. It benefits from having an alloy Bronze Skull head, BTH magneto, and an Amal TT carburettor. The Norton runs and rides well, with its distinctive bark from a very short megaphone. It comes complete with a dating certificate to enable the new owner to get it registered for the road. Some light recommissioning would be required before placing back on the road.
