Introduced for 1933, the single-cylinder Model 50 was Norton's first overhead-valve production machine in the 350cc class. Norton factory records held by the VMCC confirm that this example was despatched to Messrs Bateman in Kidderminster on 5th November 1932 and subsequently sold to M G Lloyd of Charton in Worcestershire. A dynamo, foot-operated gear change, and competition exhaust pipe were listed as extras. The machine was restored in 1978 by Stewart Smith who had bought it from Alan Walker, a pre-war racer. Its owner since February 2013, the vendor has used the Norton for local VMCC rallies and has recently fitted a new carburettor and toolbox. The petrol tank has been repainted and the magneto rebuilt, and the machine is currently taxed and insured. It is said to run well, with the engine oil indicator confirming excellent pressure. Various receipts, some service manuals, and V5C document are supplied with the machine.
