The Norton Motor Trophy

-

This was a large silver salver awarded at Bathurst Easter Road Races for the Best Performanc­e by a Clubman rider in the 350cc and or 500cc races. I was fortunate enough to win this perpetual trophy in 1959, and had a small replica made at my own cost engraved with the necessary data. However I neglected to record all of the other winners up to that date. I am assuming that conditions changed in later years when Japanese and Italian machines became more common, and the Trophy may have dropped out of circulatio­n. If anyone out there has that informatio­n, and for later years as well, I would very much appreciate getting those names to add to my salver. The original was quite large, about 350mm diameter from memory. Thanks if you can help. Ivan Turnbull 6 Royal Heights, New Plymouth, New Zealand. Email taranakian­s@gmail.com
