HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY CLASSIFIED AD.

THIS IS A 1974 HAMPSHIRE CONSTABULARY NORTON INTERPOL. IT WAS A BATCH OF 8 RELEASED TO HAMPSHIRE POLICE AUTHORITY IN 1974 STARTING TOR 20M TO MINE WHICH IS TOR 28M. HAMPSHIRE POLICE STILL OWN TOR 20M AND IT IS USED FOR COMMUNITY EVENTS.
THIS IS A GENUINE BIKE NOT A REPLICA. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE SISTER BIKE IN A HAMPSHIRE POLICE BOOK AND I HAVE THE ORIGINAL REGISTRATION DOCUMENTS SHOWING THE BIKE TO BE A NORTON INTERPOL (NOT A COMMANDO) AND FIRST REGISTERED TO HAMPSHIRE POLICE AUTHORITY.
I HAVE SPENT YEARS SOURCING ALL THE POLICE ITEMS BACK AND IT IS A COMPLETE BIKE. I HAVE THE POLICE STOP SIGN. THE RADIO. THE RADIO POWER UNIT AND THE BLUE HALOGEN TO THE FRONT. SINGLE POLICE SEAT. REAR RADIO RACK AND I HAVE PURCHASED BRAND NEW CRAVEN PANNIERS AND NEVER HAD THEM OUT OF THE BOX WHICH MAKES THE BIKE 100% ORIGINAL NOW. CURRENTLY IT IS IN CIVILIAN TRIM BUT CAN BE SWAPPED BACK OVER VERY EASILY.
THE POLICE EQUIPMENT ALONE IS WORTH OVER £1000 THAT'S IF YOU CAN FIND IT. THE PYE RADIO POWER UNIT NOW SELL FOR £400. THE STOP SIGN £100. RADIO RACK £80. SPEAKER £100. SEAT £50-100. PANNIERS WERE £250 AND NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE BOX. SMITHS POLICE SPEEDO £100-200 AND THE RADIOS GO BETWEEN £100-350! YIKES!
I AIMED TO SHOW THE BIKE AND USE IT FOR TV WORK BUT I JUST DONT GET THE TIME AND NOW I AM MOVING HOUSE A COUPLE BIKES HAVE TO GO AND THIS IS ONE OF THE TWO I'VE CHOSEN. TV WORK CAN NET A TIDY PROFIT AND WEDDINGS YOU CAN CHARGE AROUND £150 A DAY
I'VE HAD 6 POLICE NORTONS PREVIOUSLY AND ALL ARE GENUINE. THIS ONE IS MATCHING NUMBERS ALSO WITH ORIGINAL LOG BOOK TO PROVE.
REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO SELL THIS BIKE BUT NEEDS MUST. IF YOU ARE AFTER A MK2A PROBABLY BETTER TO BUY ONE. IF ITS A POLICE MODEL YOUR AFTER THIS IS THE GENUINE ARTICLE AND VERY VALUABLE IN THIS TRIM WITH ITS DOCUMENTS AND HISTORY. I WILL INCLUDE THE HEAD LAMP AS WELL SO IF YOU WANTED TO DITCH THE FAIRING YOU COULD HAVE A MK2A AGAIN IN WHITE OR RESPRAY YOUR OWN COLOUR BY WHY WOULD YOU?
I HAD BEEN USING THE BIKE REGULARLY UP TO LAST YEAR BUT REMOVED THE TANK AND SIDE PANELS FOR PAINTING ALONG WITH FAIRING AND THEN NEVER FINISHED IT SO IT HASNT BEEN USED SINCE LAST SUMMER. I HAD IT WORKING LAST WEEK AND FILMED IT FOR YOUTUBE AS I HAD TO GET MY BROTHER TO HELP ME KICK IT OVER AS I HAVE A BACK INJURY AND CANT START IT ON MY OWN. I AM HAPPY TO HAVE IT STARTED AND RUNNING WHEN YOU COLLECT TO PROVE IT WORKS BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO HELP ME KICK IT OVER.
SHE IS MOT'D FOR APPROX. A MONTH OR SO AND SORN SINCE LAST YEAR. I AM HAPPY TO MOT IF REQUIRED BUT I'M CONFIDENT THE BIKE WONT FAIL BUT I WILL TRYING TO START IT HENCE I HAVENT RE MOT'D IT. IT WILL BE TAX FREE NEXT YEAR WHICH IS A BONUS.
IT HAS BRAND NEW TYRES. NEW PANNIERS. NEVER RIDDEN SINCE RE PAINT LAST YEAR OF WHICH TANK. PANELS AND FAIRING WAS DONE. NEW SCREEN. SMITHS CALIBRATED INTERPOL SPEEDO AND CORRECT INTERPOL DASH.
BRAND NEW ALUMINIUM TANK. NEW CHROME INTERPOL MANIFOLDS
I SIMPLY HAVENT HAD THE TIME TO FINISH IT OFF BUT SHE IS ALL THERE AND READY TO GO.
A GOOD MK2A IS WORTH £7-9K NOW AND THIS ONE IS DEFINATELY WORTH MORE FOR ITS RARE-NESS. A GENUINE POLICE BIKE WITH HISTORY AND £1000'S IN RECIEPTS READY FOR YOUR COLLECTION. SHOWS OR TV / WEDDING WORK. THIS BIKE CAN MAKE GOOD MONEY ON TV SHOWS OR WEDDINGS ETC.
MORE PHOTOS AND DETAILS TO FOLLOW LATER.
I AM AWAY 26TH OF FEB TILL 2ND OF MARCH AND WILL NOT BE ANSWERING MAIL THEN. BIKE IN PLYMOUTH AND AVAILABLE TO BE SEEN. CASH ON COLLECTION AND COLLECTION WITHIN A WEEK PLEASE.
IF IN DOUBT COME AND VIEW IT. I'LL SHOW YOU ALL THE DOCS AND MAKE YOU A NICE CUPPA.
ONLY THING THAT IS MISSING IS THE PETROL CAP.
WHILST IT LOOKS ONLY 99% COMPLETE I ASSURE YOU IT IS 100% ALL THERE. SOME OF THE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN 2 WEEKS AGO BUT MOST ARE NOW TAKEN TODAY. I HAVE NOW WIRED UP THE INDICATORS AND REPLACED THE FRONT MUDGUARD ETC. JUST NEEDS THE FUEL CAP. I HAVE BOUGHT SOME BRAND NEW FIBERGLASS HEAT RESISTANT EXHAUST TAPE AS WELL FOR THE EXHAUSTS AS WHEN I FIRED IT UP LAST WEEK AFTER A WHILE THE FIBERGLASS FAIRING STARTED TO SMELL SO HAVE BOUGHT THIS TO PROTECT THE FAIRING ETC. WILL HOPEFULLY FIT THIS WEEK.
