NORTON MOTORCYLES FOR SALE

The mechanical efficiency of a machine is the ratio of useful work done by a machine to the amount of work given to the machine. Engineers always try to increase the efficiency of a machine by reducing to a minimum the frictional losses caused by the bearings, gear-wheels, moving parts and lubricant. Attention paid to the assembly of all components, and particularly that of the engine, is rewarded by more power and enhanced reliability.

Garden Gate 350 International road-racer with girder forks

Project Cammy Norton for the road or track.......

·       Basically complete.

·       Circa 1939 ES2 frame

·       350 Motor, a runner; I can demonstrate it performing on the Dyno

·       TT carb

·       BTH TT competition magneto

·       Very nice Manx type petrol tank

·       Full wrap round oil tank

·       Alloy rear wheel rim (19 inch)

·       New front rim at 20 inch. ES2 had 19 inch wheels front and rear and OHC machines had 20 inch rear and 21 inch front. The cammy special on my ‘home page’ has 19 inch rear and 20 inch front; maintains the cammy geometry, looks right and 19inch rear tyres are easy, whereas 20 inch are not!

·       Two front hubs and one front brake plate

·       Standard front forks

·       I have not looked inside the gearbox, but I guess it is close ration, since this machine was used for racing with ARHMA in the USA.

·       Spare 500 cases with oil pump.

·       Spare 500 barrel and head and rough bottom end

·       Box of fasteners and engine plates

·       No documents, but I can get this sorted since I  am the VMCC/DVLA ‘expert’ for obtaining new documents

·       All in all a good project and with pukka cammy machines now fetching £20,000 this one is a snip at just £9,000

·       I am selling because I have far too many projects on the go (about ten other machines!)

 

Sidecars

 Debut at

Goodwood Festival of Speed 2007

Made by skilled craftsmen in Lancashire and Somerset,

7 built and 5 gone immediately, which means there are only 2 left.

£POA (body only, chassis is extra)

The pictures show the sidecar almost complete; a few details need to be finished and then the aluminium polished to a mirror finish. The upholstery is very expensive red leather, but a choice of colour is available. The frame is ash and the aluminium is a 1mm skin.

The machine is a special made from a 1920 JAP 1000cc S.V. and a Norton rolling chassis. The nose fairing is from an airplane (I think either Spitfire Mk. 5 or Viscount?).
