Description
1950 NORTON ES2
THIS MOTORCYCLE WAS FOUND SEVERAL YEARS AGO LOCKED IN THE DINING ROOM OF A BUNGALOW, IT HAD BEEN THERE SINCE 1959 (THE 1959 TAX DISC IS STILL IN PLACE).
LOTS OF ORIGINAL PARTS, MATCHING FRAME & ENGINE NUMBERS. RECENT NEW TYRES AND BRAKE SHOES FRONT AND REAR
IT RUNS PERFECTLY AND PULLS WELL THROUGH ALL GEARS. DOES NOT WET SUMP OR SMOKE. GEAR BOX IS POSITIVE AND ALL GEARS SELECT
THE ORIGINAL MAG DYNO WAS A LITTLE UNRELIABLE SO IT WAS CHANGED FOR AN IDENTICAL RESTORED ONE. THE 120 MPH CHRONOMETRIC SPEEDO IS VERY GOOD. THE PETROL TANK IS EXCELLENT WITH NO DENTS AND HAS VERY GOOD CHROME FOR ITS AGE.
IT STARTS EASILY AND I FIND IT COMFORTABLE FOR GOOD DISTANCES.
IT COMES WITH V5 IN MY NAME AND THE ORIGINAL 1950 LOG BOOK. MINT OWNERS MANUAL, GOOD HISTORY ON FILE AND TWO ORIGINAL LETTERS FROM NORTON.
ORIGINALLY OWNED BY ALEC BENNETT A FORMER MOTORCYCLE RACER FROM SOUTHAMPTON.
