Does anyone know what the original color choices would have been for a 74 Commando Interstate -- would also like to know the colors of the lettering as well as the paint

According to the original sales brochures that i have for the 1974 Norton range you have a choice of Black with a double line trim with gold lettering, candy apple red with a double line trim and silver lettering or blue with double line trim and silver lettering. On the black tank the double lines are gold the red and blue tanks are silver

Roy Bacon's Norton restoration book gives all the colours. In addition to Mike Hull's selection , there was also golden bronze as well as dayglo white with wide blue strip along tank side and acrosstop in front of filler cap, blue stripe repeated on side cover.

[EDITORIAL NOTE: The White with Blue and Red Stripe was only available on the Roadster].
