The Norton Commando was produced by Norton-Villiers with an OHV pre-unit parallel-twin engine, from 1967 until 1977. Initially, having a nominal 750cc displacement, actually 745cc, in 1973 it became an 850cc, actually 828cc. It possessed a hemi-type head, similar to all OHV Norton engines since the early 1920s. 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.
This 1972 Norton Commando has been repatriated to the UK and has since been registered with a current V5C. It has been the subject of an older restoration, evidently restored to a good standard, and has been used since until its lay-up last year. Coming from a collection of machines, it will need some light recommissioning before use.
