Norton Classic Motorcycles For Sale             

Norton 88 Dominator for sale

1953; Matching Numbers; extremely early UK Home Market supplied machine; it has come to us fresh from a high quality restoration; very correct looking but not 100% purist correct in that it has some subtle upgrades the most noticeable of which is the later alloy head fitted plus a new Monobloc Carburettor and a later camshaft all to aid engine performance to help it keep up with modern traffic; it came to us from a very long standing customer who is a very well respected Norton collector and who had intended it for his own use as a regular Club Run etc rider but due to his advancing years is now struggling to kick start bikes; after the photos were taken I took it for a very enjoyable and gentle 18 mile ride where it performed pretty much perfectly; it didn't leave a drip of oil under it on my return; the clutch is super light; really lovely                    £7,995

Velocette Thruxton for sale

1967; very correct with Dunlop Alloys etc but fitted with 1000 series Concentric instead of GP therefore starts easily, runs really well and ticks over too; multiple Show Prize Winner but make no mistake, this machine has been ridden and is sorted not just used as an 'ornament' unlike so many Thruxton's today; superb example throughout, in fact the photos do not really favour the bike, in our opinion  it looks better in the 'flesh' so we'll take some more shortly; standard gear lever is with it; coming from an excellent source who is well known in Velocette circles            SOLD
