A CJ in action in New Zealand

Sent by Simon

Leading New Zealand aerial photographer V C Browne on his Moore type CJ, possibly competing on the beach at New Brighton near Christchurch in about 1938. Only four of these models in standard form were imported into New Zealand plus one rather special version with chromed tanks and an engine described as 'to Ulster Grand Prix specification'. Photo kindly provided by V C Browne's grand-daughter Kathy Shaw-Urlich, Whatuwhiwhi, New Zealand.

1929 Model Big Four Norton - For sale

Sent by Bob

This 1929 Big Four featured in an earlier blog. Bob:"I have now finished this Norton, a lovely machine; fitted new magneto, mains, fork bushes, wheel bearings, valves, piston and rebore, spokes, original registration and V5C, tyres, tubes, clock in tank, etc etc. Simon checked the numbers with the Works Records and it's the original frame to engine. But I have a problem, I can't hold her up or kick her over without doing more damage to a recent knee operation. I was going to put a chair on but the wife has a change of mind. I think I will have to sell. I'm looking for serious offers. Anyone interested should email John who will forward the emails to me."
