The 1959 Norton range

Nortons were quality bikes and they always produced quality sales material. In my humble opinion the '59 featherbeds were the best looking of post war Nortons. Let's however not talk about the 250 Jubilee launched to celebrate 60 years of Norton - nicely styled bike and the concept was good (look at the popularity of Honda 250 twins slightly later) but marred by cost cutting and cheapo parts. These last of the widelines possibly don't photograph as well as a slimline but in the flesh the lines are spot on.
