The Background
The original road going Norton Model 18 was launched in 1923 and was designed by James Lansdowne Norton. The Model 18 rapidly gained a reputation as a quick bike, setting several records.
The Model 18 was also a step up in terms of reliability for motorbikes at the time and featured Norton's first ever overhead valve engine. During the course of production the Model 18 underwent multiple revisions including changes to brakes, gearbox and going from girder to telescopic forks.
The model 18 was a great success for Norton and is now highly regarded as a classic bike with great appeal thanks to it’s striking good looks.

The History
The current owner has had the bike for around four years and the bike was brought over from Northern Ireland.
The current owner is very much a bike enthusiast and took on several project bikes, but now due to a lack of workshop space has decided to sell on this Model 18 having completed an extensive restoration.

The Paperwork
Whilst we don’t have paperwork detailing the history of the bike, there are invoices for all of the parts used during the extensive restoration.
The Model 18 will of course benefit from a V5 document upon its sale.

The Exterior
This bike is in fantastic condition throughout after having undergone an extensive restoration by the current owner. Whilst it’s not in concourse condition most of the chrome is in excellent condition along with all of the trim (foot pegs etc) and the bike presents very well overall.
The Mechanics
All of the mechanics have been overhauled and as such are in fantastic condition, this includes a full engine and gearbox rebuild including new bearings, big end, main etc.
The forks have had new stanchion and seals and bushes, new clutch and drivetrain, full new wiring loom, new rims and spokes both front and back wheels and new brake shoes.
The frame and tin has all been shot blasted and refinished as needed. We would note that as the bike has been unused for the last year or so it would benefit from a little tinkering to get it running at its absolute best, but make no mistake this bike is mechanically superb.

The Appeal
The Norton Model 18 is a much sought after classic bike, this one benefits from a comprehensive restoration including a full engine rebuild and is ready for the road.
This particular Model 18 is also fitted with telescopic forks making for a much improved riding experience over the bikes with girder forks. The 490cc engine runs very well and sounds fantastic, this is a bike that attracts attention wherever it goes. This is one you’ll not want to miss.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
