Early PRs had the Dommie silencers, later ones had peashooters.
The headers were angled in at the head end and I think they were more tucked in underneath.
I've never seen them for sale apart from a certain Midlands-based seller who listed the correct part numbers, and when I enquired they at least had the decency to admit they were just standard Roadster pipes...
There's an allegedly genuine PR at the Baffel Haus near Abergavenny, but it has so many issues it's laughable.

You can see on the Spec. Sheet , the carbs might be 30 m.m. .

Thias bikes somewhere . The invoices & that shown . essentially , the ' Build Sheet ' , if it exists , for any you look at , would define spec. ' as built ' .

Hunting away will find all sorts of things on them . I think this early one might have the ' big heel ' combat ( S S ) cam in it. or a 3S , which was a ' Daytona ' Cam .
for top end power - Highest top speed . PERHAPS .
ALSO early ones ran early pipes , kinked straighter , whereas most run straight out , from the port . Later ones .
 
sO , tECHNICALLY , this IS A p r nORTON . bUILT BY nORTON . aND ' aS bUILT ' BY nORTON . cAPTIONS SOMETHING LIKE ' mICK GRANT , nORTON pRODUCTION rACER . 1972 i.O.m. (oops )

There were probably two types of production racer - one for sale to the public, and the real one. The American rules would probably have been different from the British rules. In Australia, factory produced race bikes lose their originality fairly quickly. However originality is where the value is.

Purple and yellow is Mick Hemming’s own race bike. Won plenty of races, and I saw him in action at Brands Hatch and sold him a big print of it in action.

I had a look over Mick's bike at his shop a few years ago, and it had all the correct PR stuff, including Amal GP carbs with remote float chambers.
I don't know if they were fitted to all factory PRs?
Mick's bike was built from a written-off standard bike, but it doesn't detract from it's history.
It would be interesting to know where it is now. He was still racing it at sprint events around 12 years ago.

If my memory serves me correctlly, only the early PRs had the 32 mm GP carbs, with the rest having 32 mm Concentrics. My 1971 PR came from the factory with the Concentrics.
