Well Norton went bust, so records do go missing in administration, they have no value when the company is broken up and sold machine by machine. They had enough documentation to make a very roughly 80.000 but they do seem to have been lacking in the end records. Their annual inspection by the UK registration people seems to be easier going or how could they get away with a red identification plate with no direct stamp on the frame for so long. When the car factory I worked at in the early 980's had their annual audit it was a full month preparation and a further month sorting out any issues they found. I remember a duplicate VIN was issued once and the body was physically taken off the overhead conveyor by 8 people 20 ft up in the air standing on wire mesh so the sequence was corrected such was the problem if it was ever found.
