I'm sure you're right, Keith. In fact I think they put the logo on the leading edge of the tank specially. Could you have a word with the rider and ask him to turn the 'bars a little to the right so that I can read the Census number ? - Unless of course you can read it on the original. I am trying to tie the various modifications in with census numbers (just for my own interest).

The Norton is also quite an early model. It has the large (8") headlamp and the amazingly vulnerable horn-mounting position that soon moved to the front engine mount. It doesn't have the "interim model" steel pannier toolboxes fitted for a while from mid-1940 onwards. This was, of course, prior to the introduction of the WD standardised canvas panniers which were later retro-fitted to earlier machines.

Hanno, Thanks for supplying the other forum info. I wasn't sure if that was in order to mention it, from an etiquette point of view.

Rich.
