Ever since Ulrich mentioned in his restoration diary the finding of a Norton 16H I have been on tenterhooks to see
some pictures of it - I have a soft spot for Norton 16H's as my Father rode one in the Royal Engineers when he was out in
North Africa attached to the Sudan Defence Force. After I had restored my BSA M20's this was going to be the subject of my
next project. Im hoping against hope that somehow I may eventually own this particular bike and restore it to running condition.

| Traces of olive green on crankcase? |
| Rust holed chain case |

| exerything else looking sound |
| Only missing its headlamp |

Fortunately the dry desert conditions have preserved the metalwork far better than wetter European climates, however
the sun & heat has bleached out things like the bakelite steering damper knob and the rubber knee pads.
