Veterans from Norton history joined customers and staff at an open day held by Andover Norton International Ltd. German dealer Joachim “Joe” Seifert, whose family has owned ANIL since 2007, organised the event at the company’s Andover base with managing director Phil Albutt.
Set up as a parts service for Norton Commando owners when production ended at Wolverhampton in the late 1970s, ANIL remains the official source of genuine spares. A comprehensive inventory caters to owners and restorers of classic Commandos and some earlier Norton twins. The latest model covered is from 1975.
The event was attended by numerous VIP guests. Full story in the next issue of BDN.
