1958 Norton ES2 490cc For Sale

From a Private Collection

1958 Norton ES2 490cc

Registration Number: HFB 922
Frame Number: 74488
Engine Number: 59598K4
MOT Test Expiry: Exempt
Road Tax Exempt

Price: £6100

From as early as 1928 the Norton ES2 appeared from the Aston factory in Birmingham and production carried on until 1964, with modifications but essentially the same name. Such a long production run can be attributed to the simplicity of the machine and its inherent reliability and ease of maintenance. The 490cc OHV air-cooled, long stroke engine initially marked the motorcycle as a sports model but as the years passed it was seen as a dependable long-legged cruiser in the face of the ever more powerful competition. Now, it’s a supremely British motorcycle which should prove an ideal choice for the classic enthusiast.
The first owner of this particular example was a Mr Royston Evans of Bathford and we understand that it remained in the Bristol / Avon area throughout the sixties. The current collector custodian purchased the machine in 2019 and it has formed part of his collection since and has had very little use. In 2019, a new battery was fitted along with new spokes to the rear wheel. Overall, the Norton is in virtually concours condition. It was the subject of an older restoration and remains in very nice order.
The history file accompanying the motorcycle includes a maintenance and repair book for Norton Motor Cycles from 1950, an original spare parts list from 1959, the first RF60 registration book, the V5C registration certificate, an invoice for the aforementioned 2019 work, and some spare wheel spokes.
