Norton was founded by James Lansdowne Norton in Birmingham in 1898 and began building motorcycles with French and Swiss engines in 1902. In 1907 a Norton with a Peugeot engine won the first Isle of Man TT race starting a long tradition of sporting excellence. The Model 1, more commonly known as the Big 4, was made between 1907 and 1954 in various forms, its 633cc engine was the largest and most powerful side-valve engine in the model range and with plenty of low-end torque was ideal for attaching to sidecars.

This 1951 example looks to have spent all of its life in the Lake District and is presented in authentic and original 'oily rag' condition, retaining plenty of character. Not run for a number of years it will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with its original buff log book and current V5C.
