1927 Vintage Norton Model 25 SOLD

Reluctantly selling my rare Model 25 flat tank Norton from 1927, restored between 2013-15 with the help of Brough Superior specialist Simon Miles. Very few of these bikes were made in 1926 & 7; with the emerging success of the camshaft Nortons in the 1927 TT the dry sump ohv racers were not developed.

Originally billed as a replica of the 1926 TT bikes, the model 25 is a model 18 on steroids. As per the TT bikes it has a dry sump ohv engine, steel flywheels, heavyweight TT forks, 8” front brake (which really works) and larger capacity fuel and oil tanks with bigger fillers (which are high quality replicas). The production models also had a range of options including B&B sports carburettor, CAV magneto, h/ w LS gearbox and CS1 rear drum. The engine was built by Ron Lewis (racing ohc Norton specialist) and goes like stink. I have retained the original lever throttle but also fitted a straight pull B&B throttle for less drama. It is not a concours machine but nicely maintained with light use; around 3, 000 miles or so since the rebuild.

The Norton works record shows the bike left the factory in November 1926 and was sold by Maudes Motors of Great Portland St, London in January 1927. It has been used regularly since 2015, including the Banbury run and 2 trips round Scotland where it ran impeccably. Matching engine and frame numbers, V5c with age related plate, Norton Works record card from VMCC archive.

Price is £35, 500 GBP, buyer to arrange collection.
