Yes, lovely limited edition example.
There won’t be many, if any at all, of this spec in the USA. They were individually hand built and, as such, had to go through Single Vehicle Approval with the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency and were only rated for Euro 4 emissions standards. Whilst this wouldn’t necessarily preclude it from sale in USA, it prevented it from being sold in the EU, which would have been Norton’s next biggest market after Britain, so any exports to USA were probably done by well-heeled enthusiasts.
Being a limited edition, there would probably only have been about 50 ever made.
