 In 1921 Norton Motors moved into new premises in Bracebridge Street, Birmingham. The model range consisted of two simple, sturdy and beautifully finished side valve three speeders, the 490 cc model 16/17 and the 633 cc "Big 4", and three direct belt drivers, very fast but rather outdated now and really only of interest to the real speed enthusiast.
(to entlarge the pictures click in the image) The model 16 actually was available in a home market version, the 16 H, and a heavier built colonial version, the 17 C. The 16 H engine with dimensions of 79x100 mm had a remarkable production run of no less than 45 years.
Keywords with this design are reliability, robustness and power. This machine has the usual Sturmey Archer 3 speed gearbox, Brown and Barlow carburettor, full acetylene lighting , bulb horn and sidecar. It is an older restoration and a good runner. The Beijing Company Hua De Feng Ying offers this vehicle for sale. Complete details can be found on their webpage www.elomnibus.com . The sales procedure is handled discreetly and qualified buyers may request a price by contacting enquiry@elomnibus.com.
