• Nice old pre-war Norton ES2
• Fitted with Manx tank from new
• Continuation logbook present
• Old style V5C on file

First introduced into the Norton range in 1928, the ES2 shared much of its running gear with the race-derived CS1 but utilised an overhead valve rather then overhead camshaft engine making for a hardier, less highly strung machine.

On offer is a very charming, old warrior of an ES2 that left the Works bounds for an agent in Hebden Bridge. The Norton was ordered with a speedo and, most unusually, a Manx tank. Surviving World War Two, the continuation logbook on file shows that Mr Dawson purchased the bike in 1949 with subsequent keepers including Messrs House, Kirkham and McGrath (the latter taking possession during 1993). Joining the late vendor’s collection in 2003, the ES2 saw scant usage and will therefore require recommissioning prior to hitting the road again. Rather lovely, it’s offered with an old-style V5C, continuation logbook and a certificate from the Science Museum in Swindon.
