NORTON ES2

1950

TAXED

THIS WAS FOUND 4 YEARS AGO LOCKED IN THE DINING ROOM OF A BUNGALOW- IT HAD BEEN THERE SINCE 1959 ( THE 1959 TAX DISC IS STILL IN PLACE).

THE ONLY NON ORIGINAL PARTS ARE SEATS. TYRES. SOME WIRING. SOME CABLES & MAG DYNAMO. MATCHING FRAME & ENGINE NUMBERS.

IT RUNS PERFECTLY WITH VERY LITTLE OIL LEAKAGE. DOES NOT SUMP DOWN OR SMOKE.

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 GLASS HAS A CRACK IN IT. THE PETROL TANK IS EXCELLENT WITH NO DENTS AND VERY GOOD CHROME FOR ITS AGE. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS ORIGINAL TO 1959 (OR NEW) SO IS NOT THAT SHINY!

IT STARTS EASILY AND I FIND IT COMFORTABLE FOR GOOD DISTANCES.

IT HAS A MODERN HORN ALONGSIDE THE ORIGINAL LUCAS THAT DOES WORK BUT THERE IS A MINOR WIRING ISSUE.

IT COMES WITH V5 IN MY NAME. THE ORIGINAL 1950 LOG BOOK. MINT OWNERS MANUAL AND TWO LETTERS FROM NORTON.
