Navigator identify

Forums
HI All I have just become the proud owner of a Norton Navigator.  A bit of a barn find.  Unfortunately it did not come with any logbook paperwork so I am going through the process of trying to get it transferred to myself.  I am not sure what year it is. The frame number is 100570 which would make it a 61 but an old receipt from a previous owner refers to 62.  Could it be a 62? I want to make sure that I buy the correct spares/parts catalogue.  Would the carb be the same.  If so how do I identify the AMAL model so that I can buy a gasket kit. Thanks in advance for any answers.

I am sure others will correct me, but a frame number is indicative of year of manufacture. It may have sat in a showroom for several months, and so not actually registered until the following year. The club shop has manuals, this should be your first stop!. The Club's Lightweight guru is Andy Sochianik, contact details also on the website, he is a mine of information and very helpful

Norton 100570 was part of a large batch of Navigators built in the 3rd week of November 1961. Carbs

"a large batch of Navigators built in the 3rd week of November 1961"                                                                                 Just in time for the 250 learner law to extinguish the 350 class.
