....more of a model one really. When we bought a Noron 99 earlier this year it had 99 De-luxe in the log book. Strange really as it's a 1958 wideline 99 and I thought that the De-luxe model came out in 1960 and used a slimeline frame. Anyway last week I was shown an advert for the Earls Court motorcycle showin 1958 or 1959 (it only stated dates of 15th to 22nd November so we worked it out to be one of these two years)thatfeatured a Dommi De-luxe Wideline model but with none of the extra body panels that was on the 1960 models, so I'm thinking now that this was just a sub-model 99 Dominator but was wondering what made it "De-Luxe" over any ordinary 99? Any clues?
