One of the New Zealand magazines which ran from 1909 to 1934 was entitled The New Zealand Motor and Cycle Journal and I am very grateful to Don Muller, the Archivist of the New Zealand Vintage Car Club, who has recently copied some early pages of Norton interest for us.  These are attached and well worth; they can be accessed via this link
