1956 NORTON DOMIRACER 88 DUNSTALL TANK. 1963 SOLD

Unless lost marbles totally, when raced back in the day, all the best Goldies and Manx were 350, and all the best twins results were guys on 500's. Tritons sort of crept in eventually in the 60's.

JUST ABOUT TO END ON EBAY AND REACHED RESERVE< SO ON SALE.

- details above short youtube video.

- details above another one being noisy bird.

There was a kid called Fred Sheffield in Guildford, whose Dad ran the Rats Castle pub. He bought a brand new Dunstall 99 with alloy tanks, and external springs. That, to me, was THE café racer I can remember. Nothing came close, except Martin Matravers, who lived on the Bell bends, and was mechanic at Jefferies, built a lovely Triton 650. Never seen or heard a better..... these guys rode their bikes every day to work! This was mid 60's when Degens was at Putney etc............

For me, the standard Norton is perfect shape and balance. looks way tidier than any other lump dropped in.

Confess the era tyres are maybe a step too original, but as have shot knees, and cannot ride most of my bikes now, have left them on.

I have basically just re-modelled this from a slightly café one, so centre stand and pillion rests still on.

Have fitted new alloy oil tank and Dunstall fuel tank. Have had it fired up, but carbs will be better for a proper run and tweak when warm. New battery to go on, can spot leads ready back of gearbox..... when fitted will fire it up again and do another video of it running.

Have receipts for about 3k from previous owner for engine, chopped Monoblocs, frame paint etc. 2015. He bought it 2007. Club confirm it just missed the B plates, and was a 650 originally.

Obviously fresh oil in new tank. New clip ons left fairly long, as like the leverage, but can cut off more if prefer.

£100 deposit, balance in cash or bank transfer before uplift. Can get pro delivered for £100 to most all of UK. 150 to Scotland, 250 to Ireland, and Chas Mortimer can do Europe.

To me this is a proper old Brit road racer, hopefully someone else will agree and buy it. Set reserve at what stands me in, plus tad extra for work done........ some prices getting stupid, but things only worth what they sell for..........
