Introduced for 1956, the 596cc Dominator Model 99 was outwardly identical to its Model 88 smaller brother. Though endowed with greater power and higher gearing which 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. This beautifully presented and original Model 99 is finished in its original colour of Post Office Red. According to the vendor, it retains many original features including 6V coil ignition; original mudguards and numberplates; correct speedometer and carburettor; original 6V ammeter and Lucas lights and wiring; and all the correct nuts, bolts and fixings The chrome wheel rims and stainless spokes are new. However, it should be noted that the crankcase has been re-stamped with the original engine number, suggesting it has been replaced at some point.
The Dommie has been restored to 'as new' condition and kept in clean, dehumidified conditions in a bespoke housing-standard storage building by the owner, who has an extensive collection of motorcycles including many Nortons. A Norton Owners' Club member, he also rides a similar model owned since 1962. The machine will require careful running-in before its performance is used to the full. Accompanying documentation includes a V5C Registration Certificate and a fresh MoT.
