The Jubilee came later ...


-SG- ... Despite the  publicity given briefly to a new 250cc Norton in September 1922, the project does not seem to have got off the ground. But the write-up in The Motor Cycle seems to indicate that some preliminary steps had been taken. Indeed this is confirmed by Arthur Bourne is his memoirs, who was given a secret night time ride on the prototype by J L Norton.  Arthur does not mention a precise date but it must have been several years before he became editor of the magazine. Any more input on this machine would be of interest!
