Norton International

The Norton International, also called the Cammy Norton, was an overhead-cam Norton motorcycle built between 1931 and 1957, sold as the 500 cc Model 30 and the 350 cc Model 40. It was more than a Tourist Trophy replica roadster: in the 1930s it could be ordered from the factory with all manner of racing parts, and works riders such as Jimmie Guthrie, Jimmy Simpson and Stanley Woods made it a household name. In 1935 Guthrie set a one-hour world record of 114.09 mph at Montlhery on one. Production stopped for the war, resumed in 1947 and went on to 1957, with telescopic forks after the war and the Featherbed frame from 1951 or 1953. By the 1950s it was outdated beside the new twins and sold only in small numbers, and in its last years it was available only to special order.
