Who knows anything about my '57 International history?

I have been very lucky to have inherited my late Godfather Peter Willsonâs 1957, Model 30 Norton International, however I would really like to learn all about the Nortonâs History.

The Nortonâs registration is âUON 363â and was supplied by Jack Surtees assuming that the front mudguard is the original mudguard as it proudly displays the âSupplied by Jack Surtees, of Forest Hillâ badge.

My Godfather purchased the bike in October 2000 and the bike had previously been owned Don Morely the renowned photographer and motorcycling author.

Don apparently purchased the bike from the late Brian Verral in the 1970âs. I have also learned that prior to Donâs selling it, âUON 363â won the Norton Owners Clubâs âBest Single Cylinderâ award at the Isle of Man TT but I am unsure in what year, as well as appearing in Donâs book âNortonâ published by Osprey in 1990. That unfortunately is as far as my knowledge goes at this moment in time.

If anyone has any information or pictures of the Norton from any period of its life I would be very interested to hear from you, and you can contact me my via my t509andy@gmail.com personal email.

The Norton now resides with me in Inverness, where I intend riding and showing it as often as is possible whilst maintaining its excellent original and unrestored condition.

Many thanks in advance for any information that may be shared with me.

Andy
