| 127242 | ----- | N/A | ----- | Parted out - Engine and matching gearbox cases seen on eBay 10/22/20, no title. |
| 127669 | See Notes | 127669 | RH3 | I recently purchased a Norton Commando frame no 127669 first registered in March 1969 here in the UK, although I was told by Andover Norton when ordering some parts it was manufactured in June 1968.
The frame number is stamped on the drive side of the head stock - there is no red Certification Label - the bike was built before that startedd being used.
It has the old style centre stand and the side stand is in the middle of bottom section of the frame and very awkward to use.
It is not a matching numbers bike the gearbox has the same number as the frame. The engine no is 203228 and a "C" on the head |
| 128231 | | N/A | | Owner says: I bought this bike about 25 years ago. It still has the widow maker frame and the frame number is stamped on the left side of the headstock. Timing side tach drive, points distributor where the mag goes, has the plastic Norton Villers round tank badges and it still has the Atlas style mufflers on it.; |

| 131183 | | N/A | | Owner says: The fuel tank on this is shaped like a Fastback fuel tank but it has extensions on each side that stick out maybe 2 inchs that follow the lines of the tank, I don’t know if this was done to increase the capacity or if someone got creative with the fiberglass or what I’ve never seen a FB tank like this one before . |
| 131286 | Mar 69 | N/A | | Certification Label shows Mar 1969 with build location London. Andover Norton supplied a despatch copy showing build date Mar 12, 1969 shipped to Norton Villiers in California on Mar 19, 1969. |

It was shipped to me or sorting out then the customer decided he didn't want it and I bought it. Will eventaully rebuild back to original. The gearbox has a new case - no number. |
| 133096 | | N/A | | Actual engine number: 20M3S 133096, was originally a S type Commando despatched from the factory 16th June 1969 to Los Angeles, CA |
| 133140 | Jun 69 | N/A | | According to the factory records, this was a S-Type built Jun 12, 1969 (Thursday), Batch 2627 |
| 133141 | Jun 69 | N/A | | According to the factory records, this was a S-Type built Jun 16, 1969 (Monday), batch 2651, and was dispatched to Norton Villers Corp, LA on Jun 26, 1969 with 23 other S-Types on the ship Axel Johnosn.
Today, this is a fully restored S-Type in blue and all matching numbers.
This is pre-sold to a customer, but it is leaking badly so it must be fixed first. That story will come soon. |
| 133926 | Unknown | N/A | | Rolling black café racer project sold on eBay. Engine/Gearbox match but not the frame. Certification Label has 312189 and Dec 73. So, actally 133926 is RIP and the engine/gearbox for 312189 is unknown. |
| 133941 | | N/A | | Actual engine number: 20M3S 133941, was originally a S type Commando despatched from the factory 14th August 1969 to New York, NY. This bike is probably RIP as it's gearbox in in 133096 |

| 134147 | Oct 69 | N/A | | Actual engine number: 20M3S 134147., Black 750 Commando Roadster. Bought in Philadelphia Pa, Unknown linage partial chopper not running Engine and trans match, to many parts missing to rebuild original. Redone myself into flat tracker – street tracker. All matching numbers, Bike is alive and well residing in my garage Pennsylvania |
| 134673 | See Notes | N/A | | Certification Label is unreadable for the date but the owners club checked the factory records: It has a manufacture date of 17tth Dec 1969. Verified as an S Code. No colour recorded but there is blue metallic paint under the black paint on the fiberglas tank That should mean that it is Sapphire Blue. Was then shipped to a dealership in France.
More Info owner/owner's club: 134673 it was described as a Commando S type late 1969 correctly. As mentioned on the phone you have purchased this from the USA but I have confirmed, it went to France first. Continental Cars had three outlets in the USA and one in France. So your S type found it`s way there somehow. I have also checked the colour which was not listed in this case. |

| 136106 | | N/A | | Owner says: I just bought this one back from the guy I restored it for.
This one originally came to me in 2005 as a complete bike in sorry shape. Not much left of the original bike, but I am glad to have it back. It is a lovely rider!
Based on the frame that it came with, it had been a chopper at one time - the steering head had been raked out with some very questionable welds, and I found evidence that a sissy bar had been welded to the rear loop at one time. The main tube had a very noticeable bend in it - hence the frame was scrapped and a decent 1971 frame replaced it, updated with a later kickstand lug. |
| 136349 | See Notes | N/A | | Owner says:that the Certificaiton Label has the whole word “APRIL” stamped along one edge (looks original), assume April 1970 build, bike has been owned by my late uncle since 1978, has 13,000 original miles. Black Roadster, matching numbers. At some point, the oil tank, air cleaner back plate, battery tray, and side covers have been replaced with ’71-later ones. I inherited the bike, and I am restoring it to road worthy condition. Colour will be changed to yellow, although the original black body work will be preserved. I am the third owner.; |

| 145253 | Mar 71 | N/A | | The factory record has no headers so it's difficult to know for sure what each column means. It shows that the bike was sent to NVC, Long Beach, CA and it was yellow. It lists two dates 4-5-71 and 7-4-71. I suspect that it means it was finished April 7, 1971 and shipped May 4, 1971. It also lists "S-S". The current owner bought the bike in 1974 and by then it was a black Roadster. It has matching numbers. |

The original owner bought the bike Sep 28, 1973 while he was in the service stationed in Germany through Paul Dunstall Organization Ltd Well Hall Rd London and according to the sales receipt was shipped to Merrel Barracks Nurnberg Germany. The bike originally had some Dunstall accessories most of which the current owner still has but not on the bike. He also has the original sales documentation from Dunstall.

| 304987 | Jun 73 | See Notes | | Matching numbers. This bike has no number on the right side of the headstock but has 00109 on the left side. Maybe a Renolds frame? |
| 305439 | Jun 73 | See Notes | | 1973 850 MkI with ham can air filter assembly. I bought this new, zero miles, from Taylor-Matterson in Feb '74. Still have it. Not sure of its original colour, as I had the T-M people convert it from a Roadster to a Black Interstate, but retaining the peashooter exhausts before shipping it to me in Canada. I have the metalflake Candy Red roadster tank, side covers and seat to change it back and forth. Purchased these parts from a Norton shop in UK in late 70's, so gen. Norton bits. Engine and gearbox rebuilt at 40,000 miles. Crash damage necessitated a NOS frame, sourced from a shop in UK in 1983 |

No frame number on timing side of neck. Drive side has 00116. Very strange. All 850s should have a number on the timing side. I wonder if it had a dealer frame change. |
| 306124 | | 850F111707 | | he owner said he bought the bike in MI from a guy who bought it in OH. It was a Hi Rider restored to a Roadster by the previous owner. The certification label was removed for pwsder coating and lost. The engine, gearbox, and toital all match. |
| 307094 | Sep 73 | | RH4 | Certification label date odd when considering serial numbers around this one. MK2A first registered in the UK Jul 74, Black barrel, black box air filter, balance pipe with split collets, long swingarm bushes, no chain guard extension, black Roadster. Important: The NOC says MK2A - see the "Important Note" on the Commando ID page - this serial is supposedly too low for a MK2 or MK2A! This serial must have hung around the factory for a long time. Also, the head is right for the serial but wrong for the date. |

Women said it was a “barn find” that she bought but after a year didn't realize what a British bike entailed – she has three BMWs and is an avid cyclist. Bike was running good but otherwise very rough – but all original. I am almost complete in renovation – small mods, but keeping all original parts I replaced if next buyer is OCD about originality |

I sent away for the plate and had the number stamped in it. I do have the registration that states it was first registered in May/1974 so I know it was built before that date. Due to powdercoat, cannot read the last 6 of the frame number. |

| 313727 | Mar 74 | | | This is a running bike. |
| 313739 | Apr 74 | See Notes | RH3 | This ia a bitsa. It is currently a black, 750 Roadster. The certificaiton label has been re-made and says APRIL 1974 (should not be spelled out). The cylinders and head are 750 but the bottom end is 850. The frame has no number on the headstock so the frame is likely a 750 frame. The gearbox is 235196 so in the special 73 serial range. Government documentation has 313739 but no mention of the engine size- just says Commando for model. It has 932 carbs and no visible head number. From the gap between the cylinders and head I suspect a Combat or high-complession 73 750. My assumption is that 313739 was crashed and 235196 was used to rebuild it. |

| 319265 | | 850F111966 | | From the Andover Norton dispatch records, "Built" Aug 26, 1974, Dispatched Aug 27, 1974, MK2 Roadster. The bike was sold new in Sept 1975 in Wellington New Zealand. It is therefore registered as a 1975 bike by the NZ Transport authority.
Owner Said: "I am the third owner and bought the bike in 1978. I still know the second owner and only the first 18 months of its life is unknown to me. I think the bike may have been raced in the first 18 months of its life. The engine had a non standard camshaft, mainstand removed and the tank was painted black. I think it may have originally been a metalflake blue colour.
In 2019/20 I upgraded with several CNW components including - Brembo front brake, hydraulic clutch, Mk 111 type isolastics, CNW electric start. It also has a Dave Taylor head steady, one piece rear axle, and other detailing. The gearbox case has been replaced because of cracks between bearing housings etc. The engine is on first rebore with J Schmitz light pistons and longer rods, dynamically balanced crank ( the original crank was cracked on the drive side and replaced with a good crack tested second hand crank) , new mains, valves, guides etc. The cam is standard 850. The engine was rebuilt by John Saywell in Wellington. Carbs are new Amal premiers, ignition is Pazon. I rebuilt the rest of the bike. The frame etc has been checked and corrected as necessary as per the "Worlds Straightest Commando" article.
The bike has a good quality Black and Gold Roadster paint job done in 1997 but recently I have purchased a complete Interstate tank, sidecovers, seat and passenger grab rail set which is painted in very high quality candy apple red.
Basically I have owned this bike since I was a student in university and two years ago when I retired it was restored and upgraded money no object. All the original parts were retained and can be replaced." |

During the cleaning, detainling light refurbish, and service of the bike, I came across several, of what I believe are date codes. The letter “D” shows in many places, and I'm assuming and guessing it represents 1974 – just speculating |
