History: After Norton moved production to Plumstead in the early 60s, they had a few leftover engines from the Atlas line. They threw those engines into Matchless frames to create a series of hybrids under the Norton, Matchless, and AMC names – possibly the most confusing time in the history of the British firm. One of desert racers that was created was the Norton N15CS (CS stood for Competition Spring), and while it was based on the Atlas Scrambler, it got modified front forks, rubber gaiters, a slimmer seat, and a lovely Candy Apple Red finish for both the Norton N15CS and the AMC G15 equivalent.
In 1967 the hybrids got slimmer mudguards, a new petrol tank and a more modern looking seat, and the bike was then re-branded as a “Street Scrambler”. Drivetrain specs were simple – 4-speed transmission, chain drive, and Amal concentric carbs to take care of the fueling. Just 2,500 N15CSes were built, so they’re quite hard to find today.
