Norton's 500cc twin found a new home in the racing singles' 'Featherbed' duplex frame in November 1951. The newcomer - titled 'Dominator 88' - was the first production Norton roadster to feature the lightweight, race-proven chassis. Updated annually, by the decade's end the Dominator had 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. Reregistered in 1973 (hence the 'L' plate), the Dominator 99 we offer has been reconfigured as a Manx-style café racer. Noteworthy features include twin Amal Concentric carburettors, alloy wheel rims, TLS front brake, central oil tank, 'Goldie' silencers, and a large-capacity Manx-type fuel tank. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with an old-style V5 document and an expired MoT (1973).
