1958 Norton 596cc Dominator 99
Registration no. 240 UXC
Frame no. N14 76441
Engine no. 76441 N14

Introduced for 1956, the 596cc Dominator 99 was outwardly identical to the existing Dominator 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.

This example of one of the post-war era's most capable and sought after road-burners was purchased by the current vendor a few years ago and has not been used since therefore will need recommissioning before returning to the road. It has been dry stored at the vendors garage although little history is known of its prior ownership. Displaying a mileage of 2,188 since restoration, it is accompanied by a current V5C, invoices and a Norton Maintenance Manual.
