 Norton was reformed with financial assistance from the British government as Norton-Villiers-Triumph (NVT) actually incorporating the majority of BSAs motorcycle concerns but omitting the BSA name for Triumph.In part due to a labour dispute, NVT later went into receivership in 1974.Following the final collapse of NVT, the AJS name was bought by former works rider and competition manager Fluff Brown  who continued production of the AJS Stormer in 250 and 360cc capacities.
