Welcome and thanks for considering this bike. I bought it as a donor/reference bike for my other restoration... Currently stalled. However, although the motor is similar the rest of the bike parts aren't, Norton seem to have fiddled with things like mudguard mounts and axle fixings. I've never had it on the road but it did run and the motor sounded really nice. It seems to have been assembled from different bikes and needs to be registered with dvla as the current reg doesn't match.
So good points
Motor runs nicely, but it's not been run for 2 yrs will need new btty possible carb clean but should run again easily.
Rims are good and 2 new tyres.
New shocks
Brakes seem fine
I think the forks are new too but that's a common mod because the lightweights were never that good and its a pig to get new bushes for them!
Badpoints
Tank loose
Rear light fitting changed
Nacelle forks done in matt black, Front mudguard not original.
Siamese exhaust
This is a project but the extent of the project depends on what you want to do. To make a road legal road bike is pretty easy, restoration to original spec would be a bigger task. Personally I don't like the paint but it's solid and in good condition so it's a question of taste. It should look like this one recently sold on ebay Search this number or Norton Jubilee and filter for sold items and category cars and vehicles 143277396412
