A CJ in action in New Zealand

Sent by Simon

Leading New Zealand aerial photographer V C Browne on his Moore type CJ, possibly competing on the beach at New Brighton near Christchurch in about 1938. Only four of these models in standard form were imported into New Zealand plus one rather special version with chromed tanks and an engine described as 'to Ulster Grand Prix specification'. Photo kindly provided by V C Browne's grand-daughter Kathy Shaw-Urlich, Whatuwhiwhi, New Zealand.

Michael's 1929 Model CJ Norton

Michael in Austria sent these pics of his CJ Norton; Simon looked up the details in the Works records.

The engine number and frame number match. It was fitted with an Amal carburetter, 26 x 3 tyres and enclosed spring Druid forks (currently Webbs are fitted). The LS gear box number was 108475. It had a 500cc petroltank, narrow mudguards, twistgrip and an oiltank with the filler on  the left. It was supplied with a spare high compression piston. Despatched on 14/5/29 to Piet van Wijngaarden but the records also say that the bike was for a Mr Davids and was 'special by W Moore.'

Thus it was ordered by van Wijngaarden in racing trim; it's anyone's guess if it was for his customer, Mr Davids or for van Wijngaarden to use himself.
