According to their website: “Andover Norton was established by Norton Villiers to continue the manufacture and distribution of Genuine Norton Spare Parts when Norton Motors Ltd was liquidated in 1977. Andover Norton has the original tooling and the original drawings and is continuously getting parts made to original or, where advisable, improved specification by our specialist suppliers- foundries, forges and machine shops most of which are based in the Midlands.”FRAME-OFF RESTORATIONFrame stamped 850-[hidden information]Frame VIN Tag stamped [hidden information]Engine number stamped 850-[hidden information]Gearbox number stamped [hidden information]Clean title in my name.
