Norton was founded by James Lansdowne Norton in Birmingham in 1898 and began building motorcycles with French and Swiss engines in 1902. In 1907 a Norton with a Peugeot engine won the first Isle of Man TT race starting a long tradition of sporting excellence. Developed for their Manx Norton race bikes, the legendary Featherbed frame eventually made its way onto the road in 1953 housing the 500cc Dominator twin-cylinder engine. By the later 1950s the engine had grown to 600cc fitted into the classic Featherbed frame matched to equally iconic Roadholder forks.
The Norton Dominator on offer has been the current owner for the last 22 years, in his ownership it has been rebuilt to a good standard and some slight changes from a standard machine. We have been informed that the machine performs well and is a little too quick now for him to ride. It comes complete with a V5C and some old mot certificates. Some light recommissioning will be required before use.
