Sunbar ◊ 2009-11-24 12:07	The registration is XX3016 I believe (London rather than Buckinghamshire) and its not surprising its not found on the listings generated on the DVLA from the 1970s. This registration series dates from about the early 1930s I believe, unless anyone has any better estimate? -- Last edit: 2009-11-24 12:08:03
Pomtidom ◊ 2009-11-28 00:25	Norton Model 19, 600cc, 1929 It's definitely not a Norton International (Model 30). Nor is it a CS1 (Camshaft Senior Model 1). I do not see a bevel driveshaft to the overhead cam. It has a magneto drive to the front and exhaust on the left, so that rules out the ES2, CS1 and Inter. It is clearly a tall ohv engine, so it can only be a Model 19. I think it was built in 1929.
