Hello,
I'm interested in a project bike that's for sale but I'm unsure what it is, or was.

Featherbed frame # 20/120693

650 Atlas? motor # 20/122282/P

Any info with this would be appreciated.

'20' is the model code for the 750 Atlas, and 120693 is from early 1967 according to UK NOC data.

The Atlas was always a 750.

'122282' is also from 1967, but frame and engine numbers would have matched originally.

Nortons were built at the AMC (AJS-Matchless) works in Plumstead Road, Woolwich, London SE18 from 1963-68, so engines have a 'P' (Plumstead) suffix.
