Lot 1518
1936 Norton ES2 Special Order 490 cc Registration number EPK 509 Frame number 73170 Engine number 72073 The Norton Motorcycle Company was founded in Birmingham in 1898 as a manufacturer of "fittings and parts for the two-wheel trade". By 1902, the company began manufacturing motorcycles with bought-in engines. In 1908, a Norton-built engine was added to the range. This began a long series of production of single and eventually twin-cylinder motorcycles, and a long history of racing involvement. The ES2 was first produced in 1927. It was a long stroke single, 79mm x 100mm bore and stroke, originally launched as a sports motorcycle. The example offered here is a matching numbers machine that has had an interesting life and has a documented history from the day it was ordered, through to its use by the York Constabulary during WWII, to its discovery in a barn and its subsequent restorations to the wonderful example it is today. It was a special order for Mr. A. Wilson (Titch), factory order F66121, dispatched from the factory on the 20th November 1936 to Jacksons Motorcycles and first road registered on the 30th December 1936. The special order parts were a dyno, foot change, International forks, an oversized tank and Amal T.T. carburetors. Titch was an enthusiast who regularly changed his bike; the next owner was Mr. J. Selfe of Guildford on the 14th March 1938, followed a year later on the 17th March 1939 to Heath Brothers of Guildford and subsequently confiscated by the Ministry of Supply for use in the War Effort. On the 12th January 1941 it was suppled to the York City Police Force and used for convoy escort duties. It was ridden by P.C. Butler who bought it after the war, removing the military battleship grey paint and restoring it to civilian spec., he later sold it to a farmer called William Fairweather of Coxwold. In 1986 Mr R. Haley found it hanging from the rafters of a barn at Mr Fairweathers', bought it and began restoring it to the war time colours. He sold it to Mr Fairburn on the 20th July 2004 who had it restored to factory spec during 2013/14. Sold with the buff log book, the V5, a war time head lamp, a pair of rims and a vast collection of correspondence between the various owners and their friends, restoration photos and receipts, EPK 509 offers the collector a rare chance to own a fully documented Norton that will require gentle re commissioning before use.
