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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMurray McLeod has compiled a series of profiles of those Norton 'works' immortals from that heady 1930 decade and into the post-war period from 1947 to 1955. This has been an enjoyable exercise of several years for Murray, in particular the presentation of his pencil portraits, which are beautifully crafted mementos for any collector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 164\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 8.5 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 08, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47390013423865,"sku":"9781477659724","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/U1VLdWtDaVVlYTZYUDNaem5jY2F5Zz09_cb9e24bd-ec4d-47fe-a6bf-808613d0100f.webp?v=1770221232","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-unapproachable-norton-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
