1948 500cc Norton Dominator Model 7 - Sammy Miller Foundation Trust Museum

Norton's first parallel twin was designed by Bert Hopwood.

It was designed to be similar to, but not the same as the Triumph Twin.

The Model 7 Dominator engine and it'd darivatives stayed in production much longer than expected.

Price new - £216.00 in 1948.

 

Other information ……..

 

11,552 model 7's were manufactured in all. The first production bike was completed on 10th November 1948 number 19617, and the last one left the factory on 30th June 1955 number 64364.

 

These numbers are for all model 7's, plunger and swingarm, as yet it is not known how the split is.
