Norton's Navigator was made from 1960 to 1965. Production ceased shortly before the collapse of the parent group Associated Motor Cycles in 1966. Launched in 1960 at the Earls Court Motorcycle Show, the Navigator was a development of the Norton Jubilee. The engine was enlarged to give a capacity of 349cc. The cylinders, separate on the Jubilee, were now a single casting to improve oil retention. Norton Roadholder forks and eight-inch brakes were fitted to replace the Jubilee's lightweight front end. The down tube on the frame was stiffened to improve handling and deal with the power increase to 22hp.

A 'one previous owner' machine, the present owner acquired 'CFU' from the original owner and has since carried out the 'no expense spared' restoration c.2018-2020, of what was essentially an unmolested and correct machine. Displaying some 14,222 miles from new, the original 1962 Ward & Son of Skegness purchase receipt is still with the machine. In our opinion, 'CFU' must be one of the best Navigators around and is reported to be in excellent condition throughout. There is a paperwork file comprising of multiple receipts recording in excess of £7,500 expenditure including the professional engine overhaul by D&M Engineering, many photos, 1962 and 2018 purchase receipts, handbook and manuals, RF60 and V5C logbooks and old MOTs - including a 2020 MOT that followed the restoration.
