The Norton Commando is a British Norton-Villiers motorcycle with an OHV pre-unit parallel-twin engine, produced by the Norton Motorcycle company from 1967 until 1977. Initially having a nominal 750cc displacement, actually 745cc, in 1973 it became an 850cc, actually 828cc. It had a hemi-type head, similar to all OHV Norton engines since the early 1920s. The larger 850 engine was introduced initially as an alternative to the 750, but as the sole option from late 1973. All 850 models were fitted with a front disc brake. During its ten years of production, the Commando was popular all over the world. In the United Kingdom it won the Motor Cycle News "Machine of the Year" award for five successive years from 1968-1972. Around 60,000 Commandos were made in total.

Formally part of an enthusiast’s private collection, this Norton had been restored to a high standard a few years ago. Since restoration, it has been enjoyed by the current vendor. In recent times, the machine has benefitted from a new clutch and plates, an uprated brake cylinder and some re-wiring. The machine was seen running well at the time of our visit. It is believed to be an all-matching numbers machine with a V5C and 2 keys.
