Property of the late Alan Windsor
1967 Norton Dominator 650SS
Registration no. NOP 328F
Frame no. 18 123069
Engine no. 18SS/123069/P

Norton launched its first 650cc twin, the US-market Manxman, in 1960. Available in Europe the following year, the Dominator 650 was built in standard, De Luxe and SS variants, all of which featured a new cylinder head with downdraft inlet ports. With 49bhp on tap, plentiful low-down torque and exemplary handling courtesy of its race-proven Featherbed frame, the 650SS was one of the outstanding sports motorcycles of the 1960s, being more than a match for Triumph's Bonneville in terms of all-round performance. Indeed, in February 1962 Motor Cycling achieved a best one-way speed of 119.5mph at MIRA with a 650SS, more than 10mph up on that of the Bonneville tested the previous summer.
This Norton 650SS was advertised in Classic Bike magazine's August 2001 edition but not registered to Alan Windsor until 25th August 2004. Believed to be an older restoration, the machine was last taxed in 2013 and last MoT'd in 2015-2016. A total of 4,544 miles is currently displayed on the odometer. Not used for a few years, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use. Accompanying documentation includes bills, SORN paperwork, expired MoTs and old/current V5C Registration Certificates.
