Norton's 500cc twin-cylinder engine first appeared in the racing singles' Featherbed frame in November 1951 as the Model 88. Introduced for 1956, the 596cc Model 99 was outwardly identical to its smaller brother. Endowed with greater power and higher gearing that enabled it to top the magic 'ton', the 99 retained all the excellent handling and steering characteristics associated with the Featherbed chassis. The model remained essentially unchanged, apart from gaining alternator/coil-ignition electrics for 1958, until dropped in 1962. Before the Featherbed's arrival, the 500cc engine had powered the Model 7 and the 600c unit the Model 77. Believed an older restoration, the Featherbed-framed Norton twin offered here has been fitted with the 600cc engine from a Model 77, as denoted by the '15' engine number suffix. Offered with a purchase receipt (2002).
