Norton 500 T

Although various pre-war Nortons had been available to special order in trials specification, or 'Colonial' as they quaintly described them in the '20s, it was not until 1948 that a purpose built machine was offered in the range.
The new 500T used the engine as fitted to the Model 18 and ES2 and a 16H diamond frame with Roadholder forks up front, these being raked sharply to reduce the wheelbase.
