Does anyone know when the last Norton 850 was exported to the USA?
Also wandering what the month would have been?
I have a 1975 MK3 roadster with vin# 329056 date march 1975.

The highest US model serial number in the tracker is 334808 (grandpaul) which probably isn't the last but could be one of the last few to reach the USA.
334808 should be around July-August '75 production.

I'm not sure about the serial number, but my wife has what's rumored to be the last Norton sold new in Alabama . It's a 75 that sat on the dealer's floor till 1980. Got the original paperwork with it. First owner rode it one summer and then parked it for 25 plus years. It has 8k miles on it now.
