Just as Norton first overhead-valve production motorcycle - the Model 18 - had used the same 79mm x 100mm bore-stroke dimensions of the existing sidevalve-engined 16H, so the larger-capacity but otherwise similar overhead-valve Model 19 used those of the 588cc Big 4 sidevalve, at 79x120mm. For 1933 the engine was revised with bore/stroke of 83x113mm, dimensions it would keep until production ceased in 1958, by which time the model had been revised in line with the rest of the Norton range, gaining, among numerous other improvements, Roadholder telescopic forks and a swinging-arm frame, hence the suffix 'S'.
This matching-numbers Norton Model 19S was purchased by the vendor's father in 1970 or 1971 and was restored around 2002. There is some pitting to the brightwork, but the machine would respond well to detailing. It should be noted that the detached rear light bracket/number plate holder is present. The machine is offered with an RF60 continuation logbook (issued 1965); four photographs of the machine taken in March 1988 showing it in un-restored condition; a photocopy of the first V5 dated 1984; and a V5C Registration Certificate.
