Designed by the legendary Bert Hopwood and introduced in 1948, Norton's 500cc twin-cylinder engine appeared in the racing singles' 'Featherbed' duplex frame in November 1951, having debuted in the cradle-framed Model 7. Initially for export only, the newcomer - titled 'Dominator 88' - was the first production Norton roadster to feature the lightweight, race-proven chassis.
First registered in November 1955, the Dominator 88 offered here is fitted with an engine dating from 1958. The machine was acquired by the current owner in July 2013 having been extensively restored by previous owner Terry Hoare, whose advertisement and letter describing the works carried out is on file (perusal recommended). Last MoT'd in June 2014, 'LRD 13' has been garage-stored since and is only offered for sale due to the owner's ill health. The machine is offered with numerous restoration invoices and a V5C.
