In 1922, the side-valve engine of the Norton 16H, which had been built since 1921, was further developed into the overhead-valve engine of the Model 18. In 1923, a production Model 18 was successfully used for the first time at the Brooklands 12 Hours. The Norton 18 became famous through the South American voyage of Che Guevara and Alberto Granado in 1951.
This c.1926 Norton Model 18 has had all the hard work carried out during its restoration, it benefits from an extensive engine and gearbox rebuild, along with the wheels and hubs. Sadly, due to the current vendor being unable to complete the restoration it is offered for the next custodian to complete. This is a very rewarding project to complete with not too many jobs to do, mostly the operating cables. This Norton will need to be registered for road use and does not come with any paperwork.
