This 1954 Norton International Clubman M40 is an exceptionally rare and historically significant machine, being one of just three examples built by Norton Motorcycles to full Clubman’s racing specification to compete in the Isle of Man TT that year.
Ridden by Geoff Tanner in the 1954 Junior Clubmans TT to an impressive fifth-place finish, he delivered an outstanding performance, with an average speed of 81.54 mph and setting a remarkable lap at 83 mph—an enduring benchmark for a 350cc International. Tanner’s performance on this machine marked a key moment in his career, as he would go on to achieve further success the following year aboard the legendary Norton Manx, winning both the Junior and Senior Manx Grands Prix.
This rare Norton International Clubman retains all matching numbers, including its rare numbered close-ratio gearbox, and is a highly original example in every respect.
