SUMMARY

Superbly restored AMC Twin, the end of an era.

DESCRIPTION

  • A UK bike dating from 1967. Dating certificate listing dealer information is with the bike<
  • Totally rebuilt by a well-respected race car engineer known to Silverstone<
  • 750cc Norton P11 engine, twin carbs, Norton hubs and Roadholder forks<
  • Really well presented in Candy Apple Red with high-level pipes and a Bates US racing seat<
  • Lots of history and a photo file of the rebuild<
Following the handful of G15s built for export only in 1962 and fitted with AMC's own 750cc engine, the concept was revived in the middle of the decade using the Norton Atlas engine in the existing G12CSR frame. By this time Norton production had been shifted to AMC's Plumstead factory, and in a further move towards product rationalisation, the new G15 roadster was fitted with Norton hubs and Roadholder forks. CSR sports roadsters and trail-styled CS models followed soon after, and these Norton-powered models were the only AMC twins left in production by the end of 1966. Manufacture ceased the following year and today these relatively rare AMC/Norton hybrids are becoming increasingly collectable.
