Jubilees on Ebay

It must be Springtime - ; two more Jubilees have appeared on Ebay in the last few days. Both look quite presentable in blue and dove grey but they have very different starting prices. It seems to be the in-colour and it does look good.

One is described as a 1960 and is in Canterbury, England and the other is a 1962 in Heede, Germany (Duitsland). (I thought Heede was in Holland but it looks very like the same machine that appeared on German Ebay -Uli's post a short time back). Anyway both are a long way from me.

The Canterbury one had a starting price of one pound but the German one has a starting price of 2500GBP with a buy it now of 3500. Neither seem to be immediate runners but all look pretty good even if not completely correct.

Patrick. (2 degrees C here and getting colder).

Hi there, here we have my 1960 Norton Jubilee.

Nice condition for age. Hasnât run for a year or so but I havenât tried it since, no reason why it wouldnât.

Making room for a Triumph so need the space.

Registration document V5 present .

Collection only

Happy bidding

In other words, Iâve tried to start it but canât get it going ! ................Prob a gummed up carb, but Iâm sure it would be easier to sell if they took a bit of time to get it going.

If Jubilees start selling for £3500 Iâm going to have to up my insurance!

Advert doesn't give much information so you need to contact the seller; best bet would be to go and see if you are local to the area. Dan has kindly supplied the Ebay link above and it works as well.

De Luxe tinware is getting hard to find but oddly enough a De Luxe Jubilee/Navigator now seems to be worth less than the Standard. Probably for the same reason that Norton introduced the Standard model back in 1960/61 - the De Luxe was never popular as it didn't look like a 'proper' motorbike but the Standard is a good looker especially if you fit chrome mudguards etc. (A bit like the Electra )

I,m not looking to buy one. I already have one with the tinware. Is it a good idea to buy one without the tinware, unless you have the tinware.

Finding bits is half the fun in my book!

I completely agree and making bits fit ranks a good second. The De Luxe and the Standard are essentially the same frame so you only have to weld on a few brackets to make the oil tank and tool box from the Standard fit on the De Luxe frame . Or leave them where they are; then fit some stainless steel mudguards (or alloy) paint the tank etc in a metallic silver with a big NORTON sticker and everyone knows it's a classic 1960's motorcycle -cos it looks like a real Norton.
