Built by the Harris brothers of Kellyville NSW. Only four were constructed, one of which has been restored. They built their own OHV engines (which bore a resemblance to Norton) and fitted them to frames and running gear from various sources. A Sturmey Archer gearbox was used on at least one of the machines.
The Sister-in-Law of Norm Askew (of Wiley Park) sold the bike to Bob Levy (of speedway fame) and it was later in the hands of Ray Owen, who restored it at considerable cost. It changed hands again and then was bought by a member of the Harris brothers family.
An engine also survives and is in Tasmania. It is discussed, with images, here: vintagenorton.com
