JoJo, that is one very, very, very stunning motorcycle!!! Thanks for sharing!!! I will soon be taking delivery of a bike i've lusted after for 45 years, a 1937 International.1937 International.jpg1937 Norton International..jpg

Yes Steve, Norton & Peugeot go back Many Moons. They both collaborated to win the Twin Cylinder Class at the 1st Isle of Man TT in 1907. That is One Sweet International Steve, i am totally envious, but elated You attained your dream. Have fun with that SNORTIN' NORTON.

i think i know a few things, but i did not know Peugot made motorcycles... Here's another really pretty bike... i thought about an OHV, but I've never owned a big OHC, and the Internationale has always spoken to me... 1938 Ariel.jpg

JoJo, i just noticed that Peugot has hairpin valve springs...

**Peugeot has been an amazing & innovative company for the last 139 years Steve. Most people are not aware--like me, but when my ex-boss gave me his Peugeot 103 scooter just because it needed a battery & coil, only then did i do the reasearch about this Outfit, and that was back in the 1980's. If You look into some of the engineering designs, you'll plainly see that quite a few Major Motorcycle and Automobile Companies copied many of Peugeot's ideas.
**The picture below is a Good example... *Rem Fowler on his 1907 Peugeot 'Twin' powered Norton. Winner of the 1st Isle of Man TT.

Lovely motorcycle Steve, congratulations!

I must admit that I was oblivious to the importance of the model 30 until just a couple of years ago when I sought more info on a cherished family photo of my father pictured at age 2 seated on what I have determined to be a model 30, the photo taken on Memorial Day 1942 at the then annual Cedarburg WI motorcycle races. My grandfather then 30 years of age is also pictured in the photo holding my dad up on the seat. I hadn't determined an exact year of manufacture of the Norton but it has all the same features and toolbox as shown in your above photos.

Brother Badger, can you post a picture of your Pops on the Inter, would love to see them and the bike! The International was the predecessor to the Manx, the factory sold a race version of the Inter and those who raced on Sunday and went to work on Monday, rode their road model Inter to the track, so many road models were ground to bits on the tarmac.

Thanks for sharing your family picture; the height of the rear fender and rear of the frame appears to suggest the "Gardengate" frame, which was first seen in 1938 on the road models offered as a special order option 15 GBP.
