This replica was built by our vendor in the late 1990's using a Norton frame with all new components to the specification of a late 1950's Beart 500. The engine was built by Summerfield and all other components where of the highest quality, the alloy handcrafted "Marilyn Monroe" tanks is a work of art, the gearbox is a six speed unit, the belt drive clutch is by BNR, Manx swinging arm and four leading shoe front brake. The machine has never been fired up or ridden, although every month oil is poured into the cylinder and it is turned over. It has been exhibited several times but mainly it was for show in his home. It is now time to allow someone the pleasure of ownership. There is no paperwork with the machine.
