PW001

Designed to Race by Peter Williams
This is (finally!) the autobiography of Peter Williams, the idol of all Nortonfans in the Commando era. Peter describes his youth, how he got involved in racing, and why he was perhaps not as sucessful as he could have been. 
A very honest and extremly interesting book by a man who got more out of the Norton twin engine through putting it into chassis of his own design and applying aerodynamics to the factory F750 racers than most people considered possible at the time. And to top it all he rode them himself, probably faster than anybody else. This book is a must!

Norton Tuning by Paul Dunstall

Between the short period of the works Domiracers and the new era of the factory Commando-based Production racers and F750 machines, Paul Dunstall was the most successful Norton tuner in England. This book has been out of print for years, and all one could get were shabby pirated photocopies.

We have contacted Paul Dunstall and he not only gave us permission to reprint his manual but kindly wrote a new foreword for 2010. Print quality is second to none on the market, and we have used the cover of the original edition.
