Notes: Project band references a recent public sale to set a conservative floor; rider and restored bands are anchored to UK hammer prices. Exceptional provenance or show-standard restorations can exceed the top band.

Value Influencing Factors

Matching numbers & originality: Correct frame/engine sequences, factory-style paint and tinware.
Mechanical condition: Engine rebuild history, oiling, charging, carburation; chassis straightness.
Documentation: V5C, invoices, restoration photos, ownership history.
Spec & presentation: Period-correct details (instruments, guards, seat) and clean detailing help.
Market timing: Spring/Summer auctions typically achieve stronger mid-to-upper results.

Conclusion

In the UK during 2025, Norton Atlas values typically sit around £3k–£4k (projects), £5.2k–£6.2k (roadworthy), and £6k–£7.8k (restored/excellent). Outstanding, documented examples may exceed this range.
