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.
