I am fascinated by the various histories of the hybrid machines that came out of the AMC factories in the '60's. Specifically the Norton N15CS/Matchless G15CS. I always wanted one and finally manged to find one last Spring. The estimates as to how how many of these particular models were produced, or indeed how many still survive, seem to vary.
I think it would be interesting to see how many are still out there and to that end am starting this thread. I would be interested in knowing the history of your machine, the number (if you care to share) and what colour it was when it left the factory. Apparently most were candy red, but some were painted in green or blue.
I'll start the ball rolling. I have a 1967 N15CS which left the factory in January 1967 and was shipped to British Motorcycles in Vancouver, British Columbia. I am assuming it has spent most of its life here in BC. It is painted black now, but there are traces of blue paint in the support tubes at the front of the tank, so I am assuming it left the factory in the blue colour. I plan on re-painting it as soon as the weather warms up.
