1961 Norton Manx 250 Ken Taylor Special 05/10/2022 For Sale by Auction
Online and at Haynes International Motor Museum
Constructed in 1958 by engineer and racer Ken Taylor
He was assisted by famous race engineer Joe Potts who also produced a similar machine for the great Bob McIntyre
The frame is more than likely a modified Joe Potts item
The original shortened Norton forks were replaced in period by a set of Ken Sprayson Earles type using Renolds tube
The original combined fuel/ oil tank was also replaced by a conventional alloy type due to fuel leaks
The engine is a short stroke over square 71mm X 63mm twin OHC with twin plug head and outside flywheel as per the works machines
A full description is shown in an article by John Griffiths featured in a 1961 copy of the ‘Motor Cycling ‘ magazine which is included
The engine runs well
An extremely well engineered functional machine produced in the glorious period
