1953 Norton Dominator Modell 7, Nortons första parallellt-två-cylindriga motor
Levereras med V5 och befintlig buff-loggbok
Äldre renovering, en del av en museisamling sedan 2002
The 1953 Norton Dominator Modell 7 is a celebrated British twin-cylinder motorcycle, renowned for its robust engineering and classic styling. Introduced in 1949, the Model 7 was Norton's first parallel-twin, featuring a 497cc engine designed by Bert Hopwood. Known for its smooth performance, comfortable ride, and dependable engineering, the Model 7 became a cornerstone of Norton’s lineup until it was succeeded by the Model 88 in 1955.
This particular Model 7, a swinging arm variant, has been through an older restoration and has seen some use before becoming part of a private museum collection in 2002. The motorcycle was re-registered in 1987, changing its registration from NVM 523 to HSU 125. It comes complete with a modern V5 and its original buff logbook, documenting its history.
Offered at no reserve, this Model 7 presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of Norton’s rich legacy. Its classic design, combined with its well-documented provenance and historical significance, make it an ideal candidate for vintage runs, rallies, and discerning collectors. As with many long-term display pieces, it will require recommissioning before returning to the road.
