The Appeal
A ’60s racer for the road, this magnificent Norton Café Racer is as epic to ride as it is to look at.
The Café Racer trend stems from the early to mid ’60s with riders wanting to achieve better handling and more speed from their production road bikes as well as improving the appearance of their steeds. Tuning parts were added to the engine, brakes upgraded, better tyres fitted, and the riding positions changed for a more streamlined racer stance using alloy racing tanks and racing single seats.
This Norton has been fully rebuilt & modified to an exceptional standard. and would be perfect for a trip to the local bike meet on a summers evening, a classic bike show, or just to ride along your favourite flowing country road.
This Café Racer is all ready to go out there and ride, it’s the one you’ve always wanted in the garage, so maybe now’s the time...
History & Paperwork
- V5c registration document
- File of invoices for parts & work carried out over the restoration
- Restoration carried out over 15 years by the previous owner
- Last Mot’d in 2012 but now exempt along with Road Tax
- From a small private collection
Exterior
- New swept back exhausts & reverse cone megaphones
- Only 6 miles indicated on the odometer
- Painted alloy racing fuel tank in iconic Norton colour
- Single race seat
Everything on this Norton has either been replaced or restored to a fabulous standard. The racing fuel tank has been professionally painted, is held in place by a polished alloy top strap & combined with the racing seat, gives an overall look of a ’60 Manx Norton race bike.
Everything which can be polished has been, and the remaining fittings are either chromed or replaced with stainless steel, giving overall an exceptional finish.
The frame and swinging arm have been refinished in black along with the front and rear mudguards. The wheels have recently been re-built with alloy rims and fitted with stainless steel spokes. The overall finish is one of quality, the builder and current owner having used the correct parts to achieve what in their mind is a period '60s café racer.
Mechanics
- Disc brake conversion
- Engine fully rebuilt
- Electronic ignition
- Primary belt drive
Well, nothing has been held back here on the engine and gearbox front. They’ve been stripped down, externally blasted to remove any grime, then been fully rebuilt with new bearings and shims throughout with all other parts being checked and replaced if needed.
The primary drive chain has been upgraded to belt drive which gives a much smoother uptake when the clutch is released, overall giving the clutch and whole drive train an easier time. The vendor informs us that there are no oil leaks, which on these old British bikes is testament to the skills of the builder. A vented polished alloy primary drive cover has then been fitted.
Recent work has included the fitment of Boyer Bransden electronic ignition in place of the original magneto, helping to supply more reliable ignition sparks to the engine. Two new Amal Monobloc carburettors sit behind the engine metering out fuel and braking is via a Grimica front disc caliper, mated to what we believe is a Norton Commando disc front hub & standard Atlas drum rear.
Summary
Here we have a very well-built Norton Café Racer which is ready to ride. It’s got the alloy tanks, the rear set footrests & the swept back pipes that give it the much admired and sought after ‘60s Café Racer looks. It’s all been done for you and very well executed, so should give many years of reliable riding pleasure to its new owner.
The owner describes this as a 'rare and exceptional machine' and we think that you'll struggle to find another equivalent condition.

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.
