Norton mc Manx 350 cc 1 cyl ohc 1957 for sale by Yesterdays Motorcycles

When production resumed post-war, Norton’s over-the-counter racer emerged much as it had been in 1939, with single-overhead-camshaft engine, ‘square’ cylinder head finning, upright gearbox, and plunger-suspended ‘garden gate’ frames. Only the presence of the Roadholder telescopic front fork readily distinguished the new Manx from its immediate predecessor. 1949 brought the first significant change in engine specification, the Manx gaining a double-overhead-camshaft ’head like that enjoyed by the works bikes for many years, but the major development was the arrival of the Featherbed frame for 1951. In very original condition with Amal GP2 carburettor and Borani rims this fine Manx Norton runs well.
