Good evening gents,

Looking for a pointer on to how I can find the history ofmy father'sManx Norton, now come into my possession.

The bike is potentially going on loan to a TT display at a local museumand I am looking for a bit of background.

I have frame, engine numbers and photos for those interested... now I may be a getting a little ahead of myself, but I am sure I was told this was an ex-Derek Minter bike, also owned by Geoff Duke, but whether that is pie-in-the-sky name dropping remains to be seen...!

Any advice on whom to speak to would be appreciated. I know the sadly-departed Mr Walkerwas the recognised expert on these matters, but who would now be deemed the guru?

Many thanks in advance

Roger

have you got what you need roger? Club or vmcc records should be able to help. Nice machine....

I have some of the Manx Factory records and may be able to help. Send me some of the bike details through the site email or on this Web page if you prefer.
