British motorbike firm Norton has gone into administration.
The Leicestershire-based company, which was founded in 1898, was reportedly facing a winding up order over an unpaid tax bill.
The company was rescued in 2008 and was moved to the county from its traditional home in the West Midlands.
Norton employs about 100 people.
Its bikes have appeared in movies including Bond film Spectre, and they're a staple of races such as the Isle of Man TT.
