This picture is erroneously labeled as a Norton.

Its is in fact a motorcycle totally manufactured by Neville Evans in Wales, UK, circa early 1990s. It is a modern shorter stroke roadbike version based loosely on a SOHC Norton International. Nothing remotely like a Manx.

The decal on the tank has been changed (later) to a Norton version, since the rights to call it a Norton were/are not owned by the maker.

Captions

Rather than '1961' this was the Neville Evans 500cc 'Manxman' for 1990
