The first motorcycles made by the Birmingham Small Arms Company in the early 1900s used proprietary engines such as the Belgian Minerva, and it was not until 1910 that the firm introduced a BSA designed and built machine.
The first model to feature the marque's distinctive green and cream tank colours was a 499cc (3½hp) side-valve single, which was soon complemented by a 557cc (4¼hp) long-stroke version, built initially with single-speed belt drive transmission and later on with a three-speed countershaft gearbox in the case of the Model K, to which the Model H added chain final drive.
BSA continued to offer a comprehensive range of sidevalve models in all capacities well into the 1920s, and despite the introduction of modern, overhead-valve models, such as the 'Sloper', to its line-up.
Our delightful example of this rarely seen 350cc flat tank machine was last ridden about eight years ago and has recently been recommissioned and is now in fantastic running condition.
It has also just been subjected to a renovated petrol tank, renewed panels and a re-conditioned saddle. The previous owner is only the fourth recorded keeper, having had it since 2005.
It is now ready to be used and enjoyed by its new owner – Banbury run anyone?
Lots more photographs are available on request including a video of the machine running.
