    Do you have an order in place with your preferred supplier? If not you may end up disappointed as waiting lists are 2 years with Hawk and orders are closed with LB Cars.

    I'd hate to see you sell such an iconic bike that's a family heirloom without any clear route to ownership. Perhaps there's someone looking for a bike/wanting to sell? Possible but unlikely.

    Hi Guy we spoke a little while ago! I am going to see if one pops up for sale that someone can’t finish. As for the norton it’s a 1935 500 inter my father had 2 and a velocette KTP all were stored in his loft?? The one pictured he rode 100ft before stripping it down when he died I inherited it, put it back together it started first kick! during lockdown I took my bike test but in all honesty it is the original - ALL THE GEAR NO IDEA! I just don’t feel safe enough on a bike that’s why I am going to sell and put the money to a project that both I and my father would be happier having.

    Done a lot since we spoke Martin - Just didn't put 2 & 2 together properly... I hadn't appreciated that you weren't a confident biker so I fully understand the need to sell it before you damage it or yourself!

    No worries Guy when I passed my test the examiner said “I was like Bambi” my legs were all over the show pulling away �� it’s just a bit of common sense kicking in! I did try to convince my wife it would look good in the lounge but that really didn’t get to much traction with her! Besides I am quite fired up at the thought of a stratos build ��

    Ooh, a Norton Inter....niiiice! Knew an old bloke who had one (along with another 21 bikes...) and he always said it was the one he'd never sell.

    The Kwak's a bit good too
