26 months later and just after her 72nd birthday the restoration is over.
This is how she looked on August 25th 2010
And her most recent picture on October 13th 2012
Thank you all for your help... 
The end of a journey... Just can't wait for the beginning of the other, most exciting one that comes next... RIDING!!!

Fabuolus, what a great job you've done! It looks wonderful Kostas, a credit to you. My Matchless looked like that once, now it's getting a bit 'lived in' and is starting to look more like your first photo! I must give it a wash and do some touching up next weekend.
Very nice indeed Kostas....But I knew it would be. It's also how I like them. Ex factory. Is that two Nortons in the lounge now?

Fantastic job Kostas I know you've spend a lot of time getting it exactly right, well done it looks great
I've just got to put the carb on mine and a few odds and ends, but I haven't touched it for ages. Life is throwing lots of crap at me right now, but it'll be ready for France next year
Great looking bike as well Mick, they're identical

Very nice, Mate! I like my bikes in any condition, though I like the lived-in look best. Congratulations on a brilliant rebuild.

Absolutely magnificent Kostas. It really must be one of the very best surviving early Nortons.
Will we be seeing it in Normandy in 2014?
I continue to be intrigued by the small details that changed during 1940 - the long gear indicator for example. I'd always assumed they were a later introduction.
Have you thought about a series of close-up photographs so that we (I ) can further amuse myself ?
Many thanks to all of you for your compliments!
As a matter of fact... it is!
Me too! Are you attending Normandy 2014?
Just ride it and have fun with it, what else?
Have nothing planned Roger, not much money left at the moment!
There were only two contracts which used these pannier toolboxes so a lot of NOS ones come up...
I have bought a pair of NOS and will try them sometime!
I certainly do hope so Rik!
) can further amuse myself ?Will take some pictures and send you a private email so that no one else is bored!! Looking forward to your comments...
That's good to know!
Again many thanks to all!
