Demands for a Norton twin with increased performance had been growing following the introduction of Triumph’s Thunderbird and Tiger 110 models not to mention BSA’s A10 series machines, which had left Norton at a disadvantage. The newcomer utilised the 88's cycle parts to house a revised engine with a swept volume of 596cc (resulting from dimensions of 62 x 82mm). Regarded by many as being one of the finest motorcycles of its decade, the 99 was endowed with the best handling in its class, although it did not have the outright performance of the Triumph.
On offer is a 'well-sorted' 1959 Norton Dominator 99, the current owner of some 15 years has looked after this machine as it was one of his favourites, evident from its use for many events and weekday VMCC meets. There are some 20 old MOT certificates on file with 17 old tax discs and an old RF60 logbook showing 1 owner from 1960-76. We have been advised the Norton is 'running well' and is being offered with a current V5C.
