Norton Tank-Half Art for the 'Birmingham Children's Hospital' Charity
No Reserve

H&H Classic Auctions is supporting Norton Motorcycles in their bid to raise awareness for the James Brindley Academy and funds for Birmingham Children’s Hospital. All proceeds (including H&H profit from the sale of the tanks) to be donated to the cause. Jess Carter, CAD Designer at Norton Motorcycles said, ‘There are 4 half tanks, 2 bisected tanks split directly down the middle. Norton Motorcycle ran an event as part of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) week where children painted a side outline of a fuel tank. We gave the children the three primary colours as well as black and white; all the designs have been made with the same 5 paints, which makes the diversity in the final pieces even more amazing, I think. To start the lessons, we spoke a little bit about colour theory (to the older students) and then we let their imagination take over. This has then been rendered onto Norton bikes and subsequently, 4 designs painted onto bisected new fuel tanks mounted onto 40 x 80cm frames. These designs have been created by children before being painstakingly replicated by hand in the Norton workshop’.

This piece has no vehicle history, it is half of a fuel tank from a Norton Commando 961. It has been painted with artwork created by the children of the James Brindley Academy, the school within Birmingham Children's hospital. The fuel tank has not been used previously.
