This is a very clean, solid vintage Norton tank. It is the shorter, earlier tank model. Color is deep navy blue and NOT black. Looks to be original paint. Paint appears to have a very fine sparkle in it. No dents. A few scratches evident on front edge and right side. (Can be seen as red undercoat in picture 4,5 and 6.) Includes original side emblems. Inside of tank is very clean. Condition of tank is best seen by looking at pictures.
