• Model 99 Dominator 600cc vertical twin
• Featherbed frame and Roadholder forks
• Authentically presented restoration with a V5C

In 1907 a Norton with a Peugeot engine won the first Isle of Man TT race starting a long tradition of sporting excellence. Developed for their Manx Norton race bikes, the legendary Featherbed frame eventually made its way onto the road in 1953 housing the 500cc Dominator twin-cylinder engine. By the later 1950s the engine had grown to 600cc fitted into the classic Featherbed frame matched to equally iconic Roadholder forks.

This 1966 example has been part of an enthusiast private collection of British classics for a few years, only selling now to make space in his garage for other projects. Authentically restored a few years ago as a bike to use on vintage runs and rallies the bottom end must have been changed at some point, not an unusual occurrence on Norton twins in the day, as the engine number doesn't match the frame number as they should. With the popularity of Cafe Racers and the demand for Featherbed frames and Roadholder forks, not many Dominators have survived with many having been cannibalised for Tritons or other similar projects. Not run for a while it will need some recommissioning but the engine turns over on the kickstarter and it comes with a current V5C.
