The Model 7 Dominator was a 500cc vertical twin motorcycle built by Norton between 1949 and 1955, before being superseded by the Model 88. It was the first of Norton's Dominator range of motorcycles with an engine designed by Bert Hopwood and was a departure from Norton's previous practice of producing single-cylinder machines. Successful in its day, the bike was even used by the Japanese police force in the 1950s.

‘272 XVY’ was registered on the 26th July of 1955, with matching engine and a frame number of K1261617. The subject of a long-term extensive no expense spared restoration which has included an engine rebuild and a recent gearbox rebuild. As can be seen from the photographs, or by viewing the bike, it is in very good condition throughout with many new parts. Unfortunately, there is a small blemish on the fuel tank where the chrome has lifted. This could be rectified, but apart from that, the bike looks absolutely lovely. We’ve been informed the engine is sweet. This is a fine Norton that would grace any collection whilst being a pleasure to take out and ride.
