This single-owner 1953 Norton ES2 was bought from Clark’s (Oxford) Ltd, 6 The Plain, Oxford on 9th May 1953. The original sales receipt is included. The owner was in National Service with the RAF at Abingdon and initially used it to travel back home to North Yorkshire on leave. It then made a European road trip to Switzerland and Austria in 1954, again the original insurance document for the trip is included. The owner then used it over the next years for general travel and commuting around the country during his employment as a civil engineer, on the original Forth and Seven road suspension bridges as well as to other projects and offices. It was last taxed in 1967. The original five-fold registration book records the period of use and is also included. The Norton was then stored in a dry family garage in North Lincolnshire for many years.
Over the years, various parts have been removed and some refitted, but the majority of the items are original. A selection of parts and extras are included. Some parts are missing and will need complete replacement. Rebuilding it would be a great project. Included are a number of original vehicle documents and related books from the period.
