The Spring Stafford Sale - The International Classic MotorCycle Show|22 April 2023, 11:00 BST|Stafford, Staffordshire County Showground

c.1962 Norton 596cc Model 99 Dominator Cafe Racer
Registration no. GLL 11J
Frame no. 14 97399
Engine no. 93253

Introduced for 1956, the 596cc Dominator 99 was outwardly identical to its 500cc Dominator 88 brother. Endowed with greater power and higher gearing, enabling it to top the magic 'ton', the 99 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.

Consisting of a 1962 frame and slightly earlier engine, this Dominator 99 Cafe Racer was purchased by the vendor's late father in 1991 and rarely used thereafter (the last MoT expired in 2003). Kept garaged as a collector's piece, the Dommie last ran in 2020. Recommissioning or possibly more some restoration will be required before further use. The machine is offered with a V5C document.
