The Norton 500T is considered as one of the great Norton motorbikes, very much respected by the competition, which succeeded in building-up a great reputation in the 6 years of production and reaching a mythical status amongst motorbike enthusiasts. In 1948, at the launch of this new model 500T, the Norton works team immediately won the Team Prize in the Scott Trial. In the sidecar class Arthur Humphries won the 1949 Experts. His outfit was effectively also a 500 Trials, which seemed to perform extremely well in this 3-wheel category. Undoubtedly the following years the Works Trials Team achieved considerable success with the 500T, but when at the end of 1952 Associated Motor Cycles acquired a majority holding in the Norton Company they promptly closed down the Norton solo trials activities, this being in conflict with AJS and Matchless efforts. As can be seen from the photographs, this Norton 500T simply is in excellent condition. Equipped with the famous Featherbed telescopic front suspension, 21 inch wheel in front and 19 inch at the rear, Amal carburettor, Lucas Racing Magneto.
