1937 Model 18 Nortons


-JdK- These pictures come from a Spanish website "Ejercito del Turia. Asociación Cultural de Historia Militar y Recreación" which I guess is a club for people interested in military history and recreation (?). The text (in Spanish) suggests that around 300 Model 18 and ES2 Nortons were imported by the Spanish military at the end of 1937.

Interesting specification. The Spanish had the good sense to order OHV models; they did not bother about speedometers and the tanks and rims seem to be painted, not plated.
