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. Developed for their Manx Norton race bikes, the legendary ‘featherbed frame’ eventually made its way onto the road in 1953 housing the 500cc twin-cylinder engine in the Dominator 88. Further development increased the engine size and the introduction of the 650 SS in 1962 formed the ultimate expression of the Dominator range and when coupled with Norton’s Roadholder forks became one of the most sought-after 'cafe racers' in the 1960s.

The 1968 Norton 650 SS on offer was purchased by the late vendor some 25 years ago. It has had an extensive restoration in that time and has not been used much since completion. The Norton will need recommissioning before use due to having been in storage. It is offered with an old-style V5.
