Norton's 500cc twin found a new home in the racing singles' 'Featherbed' duplex frame in November 1951. Titled 'Dominator 88', the newcomer was the first production Norton roadster to feature the lightweight, race-proven chassis. Updated annually, the Dominator had, by the decade's en, received an alloy cylinder head; full-width hubs; welded rear sub-frame; alternator electrics; coil ignition and, for 1960, the narrower 'slimline' Featherbed frame among countless other improvements. Introduced for 1956, the 596cc Dominator 99 was outwardly identical to the 88. Endowed with greater power and higher gearing enabling it to top the magic 'ton', the 99 nevertheless retained all the excellent handling and steering characteristics associated with the Featherbed chassis. One of the Rockers' favourites, the 99 remained essentially unchanged, apart from gaining alternator/coil-ignition electrics for 1958, until dropped in 1962.
This Dominator 99 'café racer' was registered to its late owner in September 1988. The machine features a large-capacity fuel tank; Borrani alloy wheel rims; Tickle top yoke; Commando TLS front brake; swept-back exhaust pipes; twin carburettors; 'racing' seat; Lucas competition magneto; and matching speedometer/rev counter. Last taxed to 20th September 2010, it comes with a quantity of SORNs and MoTs; old/current V5Cs; sundry bills; Norvil parts list; and an original 1960 Norton Maintenance Manual and Instruction Book. This motorcycle's condition, completeness, and correctness is not known and thus it is sold strictly as viewed. It should be noted, the V5C records the engine number suffix as its prefix.
