588cc. This very special Norton JPS F1 is one of 100 made, and there has been just one registered keeper from new. The vendor describes it as a “very original bike”, complete with its iconic John Player Special black-and-gold livery and twin-rotor Wankel engine. Its last 5 MoT tests were all passed without advisories, although the last expired in 2016. The bike has been kept in the vendor's front room for the last 4 years, and we're told it was last run a couple of years ago.

The bike is supplied with a history folder containing a good collection of maintenance receipts, and its original bill of sale from an Essex dealer in June 1990. These are accompanied by a tool kit, spare key, owner's handbook, original JPS Norton marketing materials, 1990 edition of Performance Bikes magazine (containing a review of the Norton F1) and the V5C which records 0 former keepers. The odometer shows 8386 miles.
