1957 Norton Dominator 77
Lot details
Registration No: UXR 115
Frame No: 74070
Engine No: 74070
cc: 600
The Dominator 77 is one of those motorcycles that seems to have been almost forgotten, probably because it is a comparatively rare bike, and also because they are easily confused with the 500cc model 7.
It is more or less a swinging arm, single downtube ES2 chassis with a 600cc Dominator 99 engine, and it was in production at the same time as the Dommi 99, with its acclaimed Featherbed frame.
The Manx was of course busy making the Featherbed frame into a household name on circuits around Europe at the time, so it is not difficult to see why the Model 77 seems to have been forgotten!
As a consequence it is quite unusual to find one offered for sale, more so in the fact that the machine offered is a particularly nice example.
Finished in traditional Norton silver, it is described by the owner as having had a 'nut and bolt' restoration. Definitely one for the Norton collector.
Offered with Swansea V5 Registration document and various paperwork.
