Not of motorcycles, regrettably, authentic survivors of the pre-war contracts are extremely rare, but the literature does still turn up.

louis

Louis, C9681 was the 'contract number' for Norton's 6th military contract for just over 2000 machines in 1937.

I don't know what the '9680' would represent. Does it have a 'W' prefix ?

If you could let me see a photograph of the engine number, I could probably confirm further details for you.

Hello,

oops, I did not think ... you're right I mixed contract and serial .. yes there's à W prefix
I will try to send you photos on your gmail address to not pollute your post and also because I do not know how to insert them on this forum ... an error at a time will suffice ..

regards
