By the mid-1960s, Norton production had been shifted to AMC's Plumstead factory, and in a further move towards product rationalisation, the new G15 roadster (and similar AJS Model 33) was fitted with a Norton engine, hubs and Roadholder forks. CSR sports roadsters and trail-styled CS models followed.
This rare, matching-numbers G15CS was built on 16th September 1965 and despatched to Berliner Motors in New Jersey, USA. The machine was imported from Canada in November 1997 by Fairspares (Norvil) of Burntwood, Staffordshire and registered in the UK on 1st September 1999. The machine has been fully restored to a good standard by its late owner and has covered a mere 25 miles since the rebuild's completion. Notable features include 'lead-free' valves and valve seats; cartridge-type oil filter system; stainless steel mudguards; stainless wheel spokes; and all new instruments, electrical equipment, cables, chains, clutch parts and seat (see detailed list of all works carried out on file). The machine caries a tax disc that expired in May 2003, which is when it is believed to have last been used. Re-commissioning will be required before it returns to the road and thus the machine is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over with compression). Accompanying paperwork includes numerous restoration receipts, old/current V5/V5C documents, Ontario document, and an AJS & Matchless OC dating letter.
Offered without key
