This exquisite 500cc Norton is no restored garage queen. Just check the original panel beating on the tank, to create more room for a rider with large hands. This particular motorcycle is known to have crashed in 1962 at the Südschleife, the southern loop of the Nürburgring, while being ridden by Swede Sven Gunnarsson. It was then restored by engineer Torsten Arrgård, who fitted it with a new 5-speed gearbox and a Bill Jakeman fairing to replace the destroyed Peel item. It’s been ridden regularly ever since, with the occasional mechanical overhaul to keep things running sweetly. [Discovered on the excellent Autosport bulletin board.]
