1953 Norton Manx 350 Short Stroke for Sale in the United Kingdom

This 1953 Norton Manx 350 Short Stroke is a used motorcycle. It is equipped with a manual transmission. It is finished in Silver.

The dealer presents this Manx as the machine on which Sammy Miller, the Northern Irish rider later famous in trials, won the Munster 100, a victory on a Norton that his own biography records. It has since been rebuilt by George Beale, a restorer known for these single-cylinder racers, to the specification it raced in.

The photographs show it in fresh order: the silver tank with black and red lining, a black leather racing seat with its tail hump, blue oval number boards, a single rev counter and a megaphone exhaust. It is a racing machine first, sold for a collection or for historic events.

The motorcycle is located in Tollerton, United Kingdom.

The Norton Manx 350 (40M) uses the 348 cc air-cooled single-cylinder with two overhead camshafts, dry-sump lubrication, a single carburettor and magneto ignition, rated at about 36 PS (26 kW) and 185 km/h, with a four-speed gearbox and chain final drive. From 1950 the Manx used the Featherbed frame, with a telescopic fork, a twin-leading-shoe drum brake at the front and a drum at the rear. In 1953 the engine was redesigned with a shorter stroke to rev higher, the short-stroke unit that gives the later Manx its name among collectors.

LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Norton Manx be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Tollerton, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Norton Manx still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Kaaimans International before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the United Kingdom?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.
