Manx Norton 500cc

This is a photograph that I took at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1994.

There were no motorcycle races at this meeting but there was a small group of motorcycles in a corner of the paddock, though it doesn't get a mention in the programme of the event. The Manx Nortons were made between 1947 and 1962 and the yellow number plate suggests that it's a 500cc model.
