Description
c.1965 Norton 750cc Atlas
Registration no. COV 468C
Frame no. 112250
Engine no. 0/123345/P
First seen in prototype form in 1962, the 745cc Atlas represented the biggest stretch yet applied to Norton's parallel twin. Built for export only initially (home market deliveries commenced late in 1964), the Atlas was fundamentally a larger-engined version of the existing 650SS, using the same Featherbed frame/Roadholder fork cycle parts. The arrival of the similar-capacity but Isolastic-framed Commando in 1967 spelled the end for the Atlas, which disappeared from the range towards the end of 1968. Almost the last of Norton's traditional featherbed-framed twins (the 650 lasted into 1970) this muscular road-burner is today highly sought after by collectors.
This particular Atlas has been in the current ownership of the late vendor since 1994 where it's been dry stored and used sparingly, however the current mechanical condition is unknown therefore is sold strictly as viewed. Offered with a V5C, old style V5, invoices and expired MoT's.
