If it's for DVLA then NOC or VMCC.

Thanks for quick reply, it is a frame only and I understand both of those clubs want to see a complete, or nearly complete, bike. Richard

Frame only then try VMCC librarian via email as they sometimes will give basic info for free.

I used the database linked to below and pretended like it was accurate for a date range.

Thanks for info, did I read somewhere that someone was writing a book about P11s and all the variations

Interesting

For some uninformed reason in my head I want to say there were only two production variations P11, P11A Ranger, and an early prototype raced in the desert in the USA. I am not even close to a Norton P11 historian though. Merely a casual owner/observer.
