This DVD tells the whole Norton story.<br /><br />At the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum we examine the oldest Norton of them all, a 1905 model with a Peugeot engine. And Sammy describes two of the rarest racers in existence -- the horizontal-engined Model F and the revolutionary 'kneeler' streamliner.<br /><br />At the National Motorcycle Museum we look at every significant Norton over the past ninety years -- from the 1907 winner of the TT twin-cylinder class right up to the unique rotary-engined racer that won Norton's last TT in 1992.<br /><br />Leading motorcycle journalist Alan Cathcart track tests the Formula 750 Nortons of the Seventies including the actual 1973 TT winner with its unique monococque chassis.<br /><br />Plus we talk to famous Norton Racers -- the legendary Geoff Duke and the winner of that 1992 TT, Steve Hislop, along with engineers, designers and executives who played key roles in the Norton story.<br /><br />With classic rallies and races on the Isle of Man, Assen in Holland and Daytona, USA and the Norton Owners Club on a pilgrimage from the National Motorcycle Museum to the old Norton factory in Birmingham, this is a production that pays full homage to Norton's glorious past and which looks with hope into the future for a name that was once synonymous with 'The Best of British'.
