Estimated Price: £19,000 - £22,000
- The Norton F1 is one of the most unusual and technically fascinating British motorcycles ever produced and combined cutting-edge rotary-engine technology with a lightweight sports-bike chassis
- Built around a liquid-cooled, twin-rotor Wankel engine developed from Norton's successful RCW588 racing programme
- The race bikes were ridden by Trevor Nation, Steve Spray and Robert Dunlop, with Steve Hislop narrowly beating Carl Fogarty on a Yamaha in the Senior TT in 1992
- This superb example was registered in 1990 and acquired by our vendor in 1991. Now a retired automotive engineer, the bike has been meticulously maintained by him over the years
- The engine has been molybdenum coated, originally by Norton, but later by F1 guru Richard Negus, who did this work whilst doing an engine re-build some 5,000 miles ago and his signature remains on the bike
- Described as riding well, the engine sounds very healthy and quickly settles down to a clean idle
- Supplied with much paperwork, including a V5C, old MOTs and tax discs, owner's manual, parts catalogue, cover and two keys. There is a large folder of invoices, correspondence from the Norton Owners Club, old magazine articles and an original sales catalogue and price list
- A superb opportunity to purchase a highly original, much loved F1, that has been owned by our vendor for the past 35 years and remains in excellent condition
