This Mark III was the last of the genuine Nortons. In October of 1977 the final Norton rolled off the line, with the side panels reading “850 Commando Electric Start.” The engine was an air-cooled parallel twin, inclined forward a few degrees, with two overhead valves per cylinder. A pair of Amal Concentric carbs fed fuel into the cylinders, with coils and points sparking the plugs. The whole engine/transmission/swingarm used an Isolastic Anti-Vibration System, with rubber mounting components serving to keep the vibes away.
This Norton is in its very striking and Red White and Blue livery. Restored a while ago by the previous owner with many receipts for parts and work carried out. It formed a part of a private collection of motorcycles and is believed to be a correct numbers machine. There is a current V5C present, along with a file of paperwork.
