Other eye-catchers include this unusual 1930 Norton CS1 (above), which has been in its current ownership since the 1960s.
When sold, 100% of the proceeds of this Norton is going towards the purchase of the local church, built by the current owner’s distant relative.
Bought in approximately 1969 in a dismantled state by the current seller, the CS1 was untouched and kept in boxes due to moving around the country for RAF duties, before restoration started in 2003 on retirement, with the engine restored by well-known Norton tuner Francis Beart’s mechanic Keith Manning. Estimate is £25,000-£27,000.
