SUMMARY
Well presented, Norvin Comet in need of finishing.
DESCRIPTION
- The 'Norvin', basically a Norton frame combined with a Vincent engine, was very much inspired by the fictional Bike Magazine character, 'Ogri'

- Presented in good overall condition
- Part of a deceased estate and will require completing before road use
- Engine confirmed correct and original by the VOC with matching crank case numbers and correct engine number out of a 1951 Vincent Comet
- Engine was running before build
- Fitted with a 'Manx' aluminium tank and seat unit
- Missing its clutch and will need gearbox aligning before road use
- Complete with Dating Certificate and some other related paperwork
- UK-registered on a current V5C
