SUMMARY
A fine example of the rare, post-1952, swinging-arm Model 7 Dominator. Benefiting from recent maintenance, regularly started and running and riding, it would fit well into any Collection of post-war British Classics.
DESCRIPTION
- Norton jumped aboard the vertical-twin bandwagon in 1949 when it introduced the Model 7 Dominator
- The new 500cc engine went into the existing ES2 plunger-frame/tele-fork cycle parts, a marriage that necessitated a redesign of Norton's well proven 4-speed gearbox
- The Model 7's first major revision arrived in 1953 in the form of a new swinging-arm frame
- Dating from 1953, this example presents in decent all round condition
- Whilst much of the bike appears original, there is evidence of an older part restoration, the tank is well finished in light silver with red and black coachlines and the seat looks almost new
- Purchased by our vendor around a year ago it has benefited from a carburettor strip and clean, fresh fluids and an overall clean
- Whilst he is happy with the bike overall, he is in his later years and is finding the kick-start challenging
