Pre-bids

1968 BSA A65 MK IV Spitfire America

Highlights

  • Reported matching numbers
  • Comprehensively restored approximately 15 years ago
  • Featured in the specialist magazine Motociclismo d'Epoca
  • Original documents and number plate reported present
  • Registered with ASI (Automotoclub Storico Italiano)
  • ASI documentation

The Appeal

The BSA A65 Spitfire was the performance flagship of BSA's parallel-twin range, and the MK IV Spitfire America, with its high-level exhaust and distinctive transatlantic styling, was the model's final and most refined evolution. Produced in limited numbers and aimed primarily at the US market, surviving examples are increasingly sought after among British motorcycle collectors.
This 1968 example is a matching-numbers machine presented in a striking Rosso/Bianco (red and white) livery. It underwent a comprehensive restoration approximately 15 years ago and has evidently been well cared for since. The vendor describes the overall condition as very good, noting only light signs of use on the frame paintwork. A Revisione inspection will be completed prior to delivery.

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 
The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.. 
We request that a non-refundable fee  be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 
This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own  full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection 
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidders responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase. 
✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalised, or heritage vehicle registration is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
