From humble beginnings in 1907 to a last flash of glory in 1961 Norton was in the forefront of international Grand Prix racing. Rem Fowler's win at the inaugural 1907 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy was the precursor of a remarkable 34 victories at that challenging circuit. Their 'works' riders were the very best of that era; names such as Guthrie, Woods, Hunt and Simpson who left an indelible imprint on the racing scene. In a post-war scenario new names emerged; the greatest of their time; Bell, Duke, Surtees and other greats; alas by that stage the circuits were dominated by Italy with their multi-cylinder designs. Nevertheless in 1961 Norton glory at the TT was briefly restored by Mike Hailwood's Senior win and Phil Read's Junior victory.
