The Interpol 2 was a Norton motorcycle. It had an air-cooled twin rotor 588 cc (35.9 cu in) Wankel engine.

Towards the end of the production run a few machines were built with a new water-cooled version of Norton's twin-rotor Wankel engine. These machines were designated Interpol 2A. When production of the Interpol 2 and 2A ceased they were succeeded by the P52 version of the Norton Commander.

Norton did not sell the Interpol 2 to the general public. Sales were restricted to fleet customers: civilian police forces, military police forces (particularly the RAF Police), and the RAC.
