Dealer in Millis, MA had 3 MK IIIs in crates. He let me trace the red/white/blue paint scheme after paint shop screwed mine up. Those bikes, still in the crates, did not have any paint in the logos.

I often wondered what happened to those bikes. He was sort of eccentric, said he wanted them buried with him.

Most if not all Pre 75, Mk 3's where photo'd from the left, money side. Mk 3's from the right side.
Gee, I wonder why?

The iconic timing cover with the Norton script. "The money shot". :cool:

You are perfectly right. But there are few exceptions like the Commando 'S' with their 2 shielded high pipes on the drive side. The 'money side' is usually the most eye appealing/ bling-bling side.:cool:
