1961 Norton 250cc Jubilee Registration no. PVS 991 Frame no. VIN plate missing Engine no. 96921 17 The Jubilee 250 twin was introduced in 1958 to coincide with Norton's Diamond Jubilee. Designer Bert Hopwood's original conception had called for integral cylinder barrels and 'heads but convention won the day and separate components were used in the production version. Built in unit with the four-speed gearbox, the Jubilee engine was very 'over-square' by the standards of the day (bore/stroke measurements were 60x44mm) and could be buzzed to 8,500rpm, a quite exceptional figure for a British motorcycle. This modern-looking power unit was installed in a Francis-Barnett-derived frame, with fabricated 'down-tube', while the Jubilee's distinctive rear enclosure panels reflected the fashion of the day. In late 1960 the model was improved, gaining separately adjustable ignition contact points and a 7' headlamp; two versions were now available: De Luxe (with enclosure) and Standard (minus bodywork and with less voluminous mudguards). The vendor purchased this tidy example in November 2000, since when it has been dry stored; recommissioning will be required before the machine returns to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over). Offered with V5C and (copy) old V5. Key not required Footnotes: All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
