I am trying to assist an Italian with details of a Manx Norton. Does anyone know if the works records of such numbers still exist?
ttmuseum.com has been moved by my server to <A HREF="http://www2.mcb.net/ttmuseum/">http://www2.mcb.net/ttmuseum/</A> I am starting to add details of photos against riders, starting with the 1947-76 period. There is still a heck of a way to go, roll on retirement, or four more numbers than I got last night!

Hello, I know of a 1947 and it finished well in the 1947 manx, the first race after the war.
It was raced at the 1948 TT also by the original owner, I have spoken to him and heard his recollections, he then sold the bike for a 7R.
I also know of the consecutive 1947 bike.
I dont suppose there would be many made in '47 as things were just getting back after ww2.
The owner collected the first bike from Bracebridge Street and took it on the train to Liverpool to catch the ferry.
It was ordered earlier in the year from H.L.Daniels.
Best Wishes

Sorry, I may be mistaken, was it 1946 that they started making them again ?
The first year of production after ww2, so it is and the other one too.....
