Originally a TT replica sports roadster, the OHC Model 30, was one of the most capable 500cc singles of its era. During the 1930s it could be ordered from the Norton factory with all manner of racing parts fitted. Such factory bikes won many Isle of Man TT races during the 1930s, many of them 1-2-3 results.
